How is a whole house surge protector installed in Fort Myers?

A whole house surge protector in Fort Myers is installed at the electrical panel, and it covers the circuits in the house.

A whole-house Type 2 protector is installed at the panel, and some homes add a second stage, a Type 1 plus Type 2 setup. The right choice depends on the protector model and how easy the panel is to reach.

A protector is added to the panel, so the work is permitted as an electrical modification through the City of Fort Myers, and we handle that.

Does an electrical panel replacement already include a whole house surge protector?

Not by default. Adding a protector while the panel is open is the cheapest moment to do it, because the cover is already off and the permit is already in. Ask for it as an add-on when you schedule a panel swap.

What about the air conditioner?

A protector at the panel covers the house; a unit made for the condenser covers the A/C itself, including under- and overvoltage. We installed a DITEK Kool Guard 2 on an existing A/C in Cape Coral; the project page shows how it is mounted. The same device works on a Fort Myers condenser.

Is a surge protector permitted work in Fort Myers?

Wired into the panel, it is an electrical modification, so we include it in the permit through the EnerGov portal. When it is added with a panel upgrade, it simply rides along on the same permit and inspection.

Whole house surge protector questions in Fort Myers

Can a surge protector be added to an existing panel?
Yes, as long as the panel has a space for it; we check on the visit.
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2?
Type 1 sits at the service entrance side; Type 2 sits at the panel. A two-stage setup uses both.
Does it protect against lightning?
It reduces the risk from surges, but no protector can promise protection from a direct strike.
