Yes — a whole-home surge protector is absolutely worth it. Modern homes contain $10,000+ of sensitive electronics — TVs, computers, smart appliances, HVAC controls, EV chargers — that even a small surge can damage. Whole-home surge protection costs about 5% of what it protects, and it stops surges from utility events that point-of-use plug strips can’t handle.
Why it’s worth it
- Protects all connected equipment — not just one room
- Stops surges from utility events (point-of-use can’t)
- One-time investment, lasts 10+ years
- Costs about 5% of what it protects
- Many models cover damaged equipment under warranty
- Critical for homes with solar, EVs, smart appliances
