Home Safety With Whole-Home Surge Protection
Protect your home from unexpected power surges.
Safeguard Your Home with Whole House Surge Protection
Imagine a storm hits, and the heavy wind takes down a power line nearby.
Before that downed line inconveniently knocks out your power, it also sends a powerful electrical surge through your house that fries your brand-new TV and the wires connected.
You don’t realize until the next day when power returns, but your TV won’t turn on.
A whole-house surge protector protects your home against these surges.
How it Works
It’s a device hard-wired directly into your home’s electrical control panel. It detects unusually high voltage spikes, diverts the excess power away from your home, and safely neutralizes it.
A Whole-House Surge Protector…
Shields all household appliances and electronics, not just sensitive ones like computers and TVs.
Prevents the need for expensive electrical replacements, repairs, and rewiring, saving you thousands.
The Sources of Power Surges
Small repairs can take as little as half an hour. A major repair, depending on the extent of the issue, can take up to a few days.
No matter the situation, we’ll answer any questions you have and do our best to get out of your hair as soon as possible.
Downed Power Lines
Downed power lines during a storm or accident can cause erratic voltage fluctuations, which cause surges in your home until the power stabilizes or goes out.
Faulty Wiring
Damaged or outdated wiring can fail to handle normal electrical loads, leading to localized surges that may not only damage connected devices but also pose a fire risk.
High-Powered Appliances
Devices that draw a significant amount of power, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, can create surges when they’re turned on or off. These internal surges are more frequent but generally less severe than external ones.
Lightning Strikes
Though not as common, lightning strikes are the most powerful source of power surges. Lightning can create overwhelming electrical surges capable of causing instant damage throughout your home.
80% of power surges originate from within your home, caused by small but frequent internal disturbances. These surges can gradually degrade the internal components of your electronic devices, shortening their lifespan.
No Job is Too Small
It’s not always the sweeping changes that make the most difference, but often the minor adjustments and enhancements that elevate the comfort and convenience in your home.
Let us take care of your electrical needs, whether it’s a whole-home surge protector or an outlet repair.
Signs You Need Whole House Surge Protection
Charred or Discolored Outlets: Outlets showing signs of overheating or damage could indicate past surge events. These marks serve as a visual warning that your electrical system has experienced significant stress.
Flickering or Dimming Lights: If lights flicker or dim, especially when large appliances kick on, it’s a telltale sign of surges that strain your electrical system.
Circuit Breakers Tripping Often: Regularly tripping breakers or blown fuses indicate that your system is overloaded, often a sign of internal surges.

Once we’ve identified the perfect surge protector for your home, one of our skilled electricians will get to work on the install. This process will generally only take a few hours.
They meticulously hard-wire the whole-house surge protector directly to your electrical panel, which is crucial for ensuring comprehensive protection throughout your home.
3—Grounding for Optimal Performance
A critical aspect of the installation is ensuring that your surge protector is properly grounded.
Grounding is the process that provides a safe path for excess electricity to be diverted away from your home’s electrical circuitry.
