A common question we get concerns whether whole-home surge protection in Corsicana part of code requirements, and the answer is yes. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) updated the National Electrical Code (NEC) for 2020 to require whole-house surge protector installation. That means that all homes built in 2020 or beyond must have a surge protection device (SPD).
Does that mean that you’re legally required to upgrade? No. Homeowners rarely have a legal requirement to remain current with electrical and other building codes. That said, experts strongly encourage it. It’s a relatively inexpensive home improvement that protects you against fires and will likely save you money over the years.
There are two main types of SPDs for homes: Type 1 (T1) and Type 2 (T2). A T1 SPD provides protection between your electrical panel and the grid. A T2 SPD provides protection between your electrical panel and the rest of your home’s electrical system. Rather than choosing one or the other, we recommend both for layered protection. In addition, you should also have local surge protectors for all your valuable devices, including computers and televisions.
Should you upgrade if your builder built your home with an SPD? The answer is perhaps. Most builders will opt for a T2 SPD installed alongside the electrical panel. It’s not common to install a T1 instead and less common to install both a T1 and T2. If you want the most robust protection possible, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection to determine what equipment you have.
