Whole-Home Surge Protection in Melbourne, FL
Melbourne, FL, is no stranger to high-voltage power surges. More than 90% of lightning strikes occur between May and October in the area. Our area is known as “Lightning Alley” because every year, we receive more lightning strikes than anywhere in the country.
At Mac 5 Services, we help homeowners and businesses protect their electrical systems, appliances, and electronics from the extensive and costly damage of high-voltage surges. Our whole-home surge protectors shield against electrical fires, equipment loss, and property damage.
What Does a Whole-Home Surge Protector Do?
Whole-home surge protectors are designed to protect your electrical network, appliances, and electronics from damage. They achieve this by absorbing excess energy from high-voltage and transient surges and diverting the energy away from the electrical network. Once installed, you can count on a significantly lower risk of fire or electrical damage.
Unlike strip power surge protectors, whole-home surge protectors provide comprehensive, durable protection for every system in your home. Strip surge protectors have a limited life span and protect only a handful of voltage spikes before they fail.
While it’s advisable to position strip surge protectors with computers and other high-value electronics, they should be used as a second rather than a first line of protection.

Protect Your Devices With a Whole-Home Surge Protector
There are various reasons to consider a whole-home surge protector for your Melbourne home, including:
- Protects appliances and electronics: High-voltage surges can cause irreparable damage to electronics and appliances. Shielding your systems against voltage surges extends their life span and alleviates the need for costly replacements.
- Protects against internal power surges: Approximately 80% of all power surges that affect appliances and electronics originate inside the home.
- Creates layered protection: No system provides 100% protection against surges. Establishing multiple lines of defense creates protection at the point of the electrical panel and the point of use.
- Protects all electrical systems: Whether from lightning or a transient surge, whole-home surge protectors protect outlets, circuit breaker panels, electronics, EV charging stations, and appliances.
