Surge protection

Whole-home surge protector installation, at your panel.

A whole-home surge protector is installed at your electrical panel and helps protect everything on your home’s circuits from voltage surges. A plug-in strip protects one outlet; a panel-mounted device covers the whole house.

How it works with plug-in protectors

The panel device handles large surges entering the house. Plug-in strips still help with sensitive electronics at the outlet. Many homeowners use both.

When it makes sense

  • You’ve lost electronics or appliances to a storm or outage before
  • You’re adding a generator inlet, an EV charger or new appliances
  • You live where summer thunderstorms are routine, which is most of Florida
What to expect

How we install it

Check the panel

We look at your panel for space and condition first, and tell you plainly if anything else needs attention.

Install it properly

We use listed, compatible equipment appropriate for your panel and handle permitting when it’s required.

Show you the status light

Most panel protectors have an indicator that shows they’re working. We’ll show you what to look for.

Questions

Surge protection questions

Who pulls the permit for a whole-home surge protector?

We do. When a surge protector installation requires a permit, we handle the permitting, the same way we handle it for generator interlocks and power inlets.

What brand of surge protector do you install?

We don't hold to one specific brand. We use listed, compatible equipment that is appropriate for your panel and the installation.

Protect the whole house

Request a project estimate. If you’re also getting ready for storm season, ask about generator hookups.
