Whole-Home Surge Protection

Panel-mounted protector

Installed in an open breaker space or beside the panel.

Required on service upgrades

Code requires a surge protector when a home's service is replaced or upgraded.

Layered protection

Pair it with plug-in surge strips at TVs, computers and other electronics.

Good grounding

Surge protection depends on good grounding. We check what we can see while we're there.

Worth a look if

Who Should Consider It

• ✓You've lost appliances or electronics to a storm or surge
• ✓You have new HVAC, a heat pump, or high-end appliances
• ✓You're on a rural line with frequent outages and flickers
• ✓You're upgrading your panel or service anyway
• ✓You have a standby generator or EV charger

What it can and can't do

• Surge protectors reduce risk. No device prevents all damage, especially from a direct lightning strike.
• Lightning protection systems (rods on the roof) are a separate system.
• Power quality and outages are controlled by your utility, not by us.
• When we install it during panel or service work, it costs less than as a separate trip.

We do the work

A licensed electrician does the work to code, and we handle the inspection where one is required.
