Review on Enhanced Home Protection: Square D by Schneider Electric HOM2175SB Homeline SurgeBreaker Surge Protective Device - Utilizes 2 Load Center Spaces by Carlos Deuschle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install and will show if it is still working properly. GREAT visual status feedback.

My previous block was over 20 years old and had no block health indicator, just a metal tube. After the storm, I decided it was time to get a new block. I have a Square-D Homeline Switch Panel and was looking for something that would fit my panel and have a VISIBLE display of the device status. It met both requirements and was available for download. I turned off the main switch first, then removed the cover plate. I had to move a few existing switches, but burying them was very easy. Do not attempt this if you do not feel comfortable working in the switch cabinet (220 V AC and 200 A). This is the service entrance panel to the garage. In the basement is another switchboard with all the switches for the house. A green status light is a strong indication that the device is working properly.

Pros
  • Plugin install, 2 spaces required
Cons
  • There are problems
