About Surge Protection

Does it stop direct lightning?

No device does; it reduces damage from the far more common surges.

Do I still need power strips?

Yes, for sensitive electronics.

Can it go in with a panel upgrade?

Yes.

Who issues the permit?

Electrical permits come from the City of Panama City or Bay County, depending on where the house is (beach and other cities run their own). The electrical contractor pulls it and the work is inspected.

Protect your home's electronics.
