G&E makes an excellent line of Load Centers and Breakers and they also make a Whole House Surge Protector to protect the panels from surges .
But there are those electricians who say surge protectors on panels do not work. They are Completely and absolutely wrong. Because they are too lazy to read the instructions and make sure they are properly installing them and making sure panels grounding is properly unified.
I had 2 recent Forensic Electrical Inspections where the Surge units where improperly installed and failed but they did provide some protection even thou not properly installed .
Green light not working shows unit is blown |
The Manufacturer specifically shows in the instructions these units are to be installed at the top of the panels But that's not the case here as a result the home owner had damage they
would not of otherwise had.
In both cases the Electricians also failed to tell the home owners these surge units have a 3 year $15,000 guarantee against failure.
Which of course the manufacturer would deny the claim because they where installed wrong.
Until Electricians learn to read instructions and stop acting like Primadonas there will continue to be damage to homes when home owners spent the extra money to help prevent it
