Stott Brothers Electric encourages all homeowners in the area to consider surge protection in Port St. Lucie, FL. The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires some level of electrical surge protection for all new homes. Most homes in this region built before 2020 don’t have it. Adding it to your system can protect your home, appliances, and electronics. It can also reduce your risk of significant electrical repair costs.

Personalized Electrical Surge Protection Solutions
There are three core types of surge protection devices (SPDs) to consider for residential applications. There are Type 1 (T1), Type 2 (T2) and Type 3 (T3) SPDs. What we recommend for the most robust protection is a layered approach. Even if you have a home built after 2020, it likely either has a T1 or a T2 SPD, but not both.
Electricians install T1 SPDs between a home’s electrical panel and the main electric line coming into the house. A T1 provides excellent protection against lightning. It also protects from any destructive power coming in off the grid. If a nearby transformer blows and causes a spike that damages your home, you’d be the one paying for the repair.
A T2 SPD provides protection between a home’s electrical panel and the rest of its electrical system. Any powerful motor in your home, including an AC condenser pump, can cause a spike that can do serious damage. A T2 SPD would prevent that spike from damaging your electrical panel, wiring, and other appliances and devices.
T3 SPDs are local surge protection solutions. They only provide protection for a particular outlet. An example is a surge protector strip you plug your entertainment equipment into. You usually don’t need an electrician for T3 SPDs, but we do offer consulting services. You can also upgrade your home’s outlets with integrated T3 SPDs. This helps ensure that every device in your home has protection.
There are many benefits to electrical surge protection:
- Lower risk of fire
- Reduced insurance premiums
- Protection for valuable devices
- Lower long-term electrical costs
