The answer to 'how to install surge protection' is to install a whole-home surge protector at your electrical panel. This will protect your home's electrical system and connected devices from power surges and spikes. First, turn off power to the electrical panel and identify the appropriate circuit breaker or space to install the surge protector. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly connect the surge protector to the panel. Once installed, it will continuously monitor your home's electrical system and activate to divert excess voltage away from your appliances and electronics.
It's important to have a professional electrician install the surge protector, as this involves working with your home's main electrical system. Surge protectors should be checked and replaced every 3-5 years to ensure they are functioning properly.
