A single voltage spike — from a lightning strike, a grid switching event, or your own HVAC cycling on — can damage televisions, computers, and appliances in an instant. A whole-house surge protector installed at your panel guards every circuit in the home, not just what’s plugged into a power strip.
- Panel-level protection for every circuit
- Guards against lightning & grid spikes
- Protects HVAC, appliances & electronics
- Simple add-on to any panel upgrade
Surge Protection Systems
Why It Matters
Power Strips Only Protect What's Plugged Into Them
A surge protector power strip only guards the device plugged directly into it. It does nothing for your HVAC system, water heater, or the wiring throughout your home. A whole-house surge protective device installed at the panel intercepts voltage spikes before they reach any circuit.
We install surge protection directly at your electrical panel, sized to your home’s service, so every outlet, appliance, and hardwired system in the house is covered by a single device.
“One surge event can cost more in damaged appliances than a lifetime of protection would.”

FAQ
Common Questions About Surge Protection
Do I still need power strip surge protectors after a whole-house system?
Whole-house protection handles large surges at the source, while point-of-use protectors add a second layer for sensitive electronics. Many homeowners keep both.
How long does surge protector installation take?
Most panel-level surge protector installations take a few hours and can often be done alongside other panel work in the same visit.
Will a surge protector prevent all appliance damage?
No device can guarantee complete protection against every event, but a properly sized whole-house system significantly reduces the risk of surge-related damage.
Do I need a permit for surge protector installation?
In most cases, yes, since the device is wired into your panel. We handle the permit and inspection directly.
Can surge protection be added during a panel upgrade?
Yes, it’s one of the most common add-ons during a panel upgrade since the panel is already open for work.
