Protect Your Home with Advanced Surge Protection from Schneider Electric/Square D
Residential surge protective devices provide advanced appliance and electronics protection from damaging power surges. When installed at your electrical panel or loadcenter, these systems help protect all devices throughout your home, including hardwired appliances that aren’t plugged into traditional surge strips—such as washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, HVAC systems, and smart home devices.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the 2020 National Electrical Code now requires surge protective devices in many residential applications, making proper protection more important than ever.

What Does the 2020 NEC Require?
The 2020 National Electrical Code introduced significant updates regarding surge protective device installation in residential applications. These requirements help ensure your home’s electrical system meets current safety standards and provides adequate protection against transient voltage surges.
Understanding these code requirements is essential for proper installation and compliance. Our residential electrical solutions team can help you navigate these requirements and select the appropriate surge protective device for your specific application.
