Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA whole home surge protector
What is a power surge?
A surge is a brief spike of high-voltage electricity that flows through your home’s wiring. Even a single surge can damage or destroy anything plugged into an unprotected outlet — from your electronics and appliances to smart home devices like security systems, programmable lighting, and thermostats. In some cases, surges can even cause dangerous fires.

How does a whole home surge protector work?
A surge protector acts like a shield for your electrical devices. When a sudden spike of high voltage (a surge) comes through your wiring, the surge protector detects it and redirects the excess electricity safely away from your devices—usually into the ground. This prevents the extra voltage from damaging or destroying your electronics, appliances, and smart home systems
