Summer Storm Surge Protection
Afternoon thunderstorms are a staple of Apex summers, bringing lightning strikes that cause power surges across the Duke Energy grid. Standard power strips do not protect your major appliances, like your HVAC compressor or smart refrigerator. Installing a whole-house surge protective device directly into your main electrical panel is the only way to safeguard your equipment. It clamps down on high-voltage spikes instantly, routing the dangerous excess electricity safely into the ground. These devices are now required by modern electrical codes for new homes and panel upgrades due to their proven safety benefits in storm-prone North Carolina.
