In this video, I talk about why whole home surge protectors are now required per the NEC and I also show how to install one. Not only is this a newer requirement for all new services but it is something that ALL homeowners should want installed on their homes.
All of my favorite tools, devices, and materials!

Were you aware of these surge protection devices? Also, do you think they make more sense to install now after watching this video?
Perfect step-by-step video on how, and why, to install a whole house surge protector. Excellent script, excellent cadence, excellent up close video. Subscribed!
Question : Is this a good option for protecting appliances from generator power surges? Thanks for the video!
@HowToHomeDIY What are your thoughts on the EMP Shield as a whole home surge, lightning, and EMP protection?
Adam, this was very informative! I have a question for you…I have whole house surge protection through my power company, and pay a few dollars a month for this protection. According to the NEC, do I still need to have one of these additional devices to be up to code, or would the power company’s whole house surge protection be sufficient? Thank you! 🕊️🫶
