There are several types of surge protection in Chapel Hill to consider. The industry often refers to these as T1, T2, and T3. A T1 device is a panel-mounted surge protector. Our electrician will install it between the grid and your electrical panel. T1 devices protect against lightning events, surges, and anomalies that can enter your home from the street.
A T2 device is a point-of-use surge protector. It provides the type of protection most people associate with whole-home surge protection. Our electrician will install it between your electrical panel and the rest of your home’s electrical system. It protects against spikes and surges that can originate locally within your home. It also provides extra protection against the grid and lightning strikes.
A T2 device protects against faulty wiring and outlets and surges from motors turning on. Examples include generators, garage door openers, air conditioners, and heat pumps.
T3 surge protectors are the local devices that you will generally install yourself, such as a power strip with a surge protector. Our electricians also install outlets with integrated surge protection.
We recommend a layered approach to whole-home surge protection. You want T3 protection for all your valuable devices and appliances. We strongly encourage a T2 device because it eliminates most spike- and surge-related problems. Adding T3 will give your home comprehensive protection.
