Whole House Electrical Surge Protection
Siemens FirstSurge
Today’s homes filled with smart appliances and electronics require constant surge protection to prevent damage. Selecting a surge protective device that delivers the proper level of protection, and knowing when a surge protector needs to be replaced, are the keys to ensuring your home remains protected. This is why we developed FirstSurge, our commercial class total home surge protector.
Installed at your load center (electrical panel), FirstSurge will stop surges before they get into your home. FirstSurge offers three robustness grades to compensate for the storm activity where you live. All surge protective devices are sacrificial and will eventually wear out. When FirstSurge wears out, its commercial class three stage notification diagnostic immediately alerts you that the unit needs replacing. FirstSurge is first in class compared to devices on the market that have only LED notification, or provide no notification at all.
With FirstSurge commercial class protection, you will have peace of mind that your home will always be surge protected. Make Siemens FirstSurge the first surge protector installed into your home.
FirstSurge is Available in 3 Protection Levels
FirstSurge Power (FS060) = 60,000 Amps per phase protection.
FirstSurge Plus (FS100) = 100,000 Amps per phase protection.
FirstSurge Pro (FS140) = 140,000 Amps per phase protection.
Electrical System Protection
A surge, sometimes called a transient or a spike, is a brief burst of energy (voltage and current). The most damaging surges enter through your home’s power, cable and telephone lines. However, the majority of surges originate within the home from the action of motor based appliances like dishwashers, refrigerators, garage door openers, etc.
Siemens FirstSurgeTM stops power surges from entering your electrical system protecting smart appliances, TVs, computers, heating and cooling systems, and more. Every FirstSurgeTM includes commercial class notifiers (LEDs, Audible Alarm, and Red Flashing LED) and supplemental GRM Diagnostics.
Siemens offers three levels of protection for your electrical system:
* FS060 (First Surge Power) = 60,000 Amps
* FS100 (First Surge Plus) = 100,000 Amps
* FS140 (First Surge Pro) = 140,000 Amps
Phone System Protection
There are multiple ways surges can enter the home, including the electrical system, coaxial cable, and also telephone (DSL) lines. Just as with coaxial systems, often surge protection for telephone lines is ignored, exposing modems, computers, and phone systems to dangerous surges. Siemens FSPHONE is a two pair, hardwired surge protector for telephone, DSL or modem connected electronics in residential and light commercial applications. The FSPHONE protects against electrical power surges that can enter through the main telephone connection and is equipped with a failshort device to permanently ground the telephone line in the event of a power cross. The catalog number 'FSPHONE' is designed for indoor applications or can be mounted inside another weatherproof enclosure for outdoor mounting applications. The catalog number 'FSPHONE4X' consists of the FSPHONE plus a weatherproof enclosure to facilitate indoor or outdoor applications. The enclosure is molded of temperature and humidity resistant thermoplastic to resist cracking and discoloration. The cover can be secured with a tie wrap or similar locking device.
Coaxial System Protection
Protecting your electrical service and not your coax cable allows for surges to enter through an unlocked or unprotected back door. To prevent surge damage from Cable TV or Telephone lines, you need to surge protect in the same manner as power by stopping surges at the incoming cable TV utility service.
Whole House Surge Kits
If you have been hit with surges, but unsure if the surge entered from the power, cable, or telephone lines, we offer our combo pack that combines Power, Cable, and Telephone protection within one pack.
Installing all three surge protectors at the same time gives you peace of mind that your home will protected against any surge trying to enter from any of your main utility services.

Instead, I will talk about the installation. I did the fancy flush mount installation behind the wall with a face plate. The face plate cost $100, which I thought was a rip off, but it does make the installation clean, it is what it is.
The installation wasn't complex, but it was laborious because I had to create a wooden frame to house the SPD in between the wall stud and since the stud is so much wider than the SPD if you mount it vertically, you don't have a lot to room to work with given the limited size you have to cut on the dry wall. I needed a 90 degree drill in order to install this SPD.
If you plan to do an in-wall flush install, I would recommend your install it horizontally.
After the installation, it looks great, flushed where all the wires are behind the wall.
Again, I can't tell your how will this thing works with surge protection as I have not had a surge yet, but others who has are saying it works very well. So I guess others' testimony does give me a peace of mind.
