Get storm ready.

Power fluctuations and loss of power caused by thunderstorms, high winds and deep freezes can put your home at risk. 

What do you need to power and protect your home?

Surges resulting from severe weather can damage electrical circuits and your connected electronics and appliances. If you think your backup generator isn’t another source of power fluctuations and surges, think again.

Help safeguard your essentials from damage with Eaton’s surge protection devices. Our power inlet boxes help connect your home’s circuits to a portable generator, and our mechanical interlock kits enable a safe and reliable transfer to emergency power when you need it most.
