Save Thousands With a Whole House Surge Protection System

Rain is beating on the roof, thunder shakes the house, and then—

ZAP!

A flash of light outside your window—and the house goes dark. Once power is restored, you find that your refrigerator, stove, and your dishwasher won’t turn on. Your entire kitchen has been decimated by a power surge.

Whole house surge protectors are a $400 investment that could save you thousands. 

Benefits of a Whole Surge Protector

  • Protects your appliances - blocks power surges that can damage your appliances and electronics

  • Prevents damage to your electrical system - saves you from costly re-wiring 

Many people think power surges can only affect electronics like computers and televisions. This used to be true—before all your other appliances began incorporating the same delicate fragile microchips—easily overheated and “fried” by a power surge.

Now, a single surge could wipe out half your electronics and appliances—costing you thousands of dollars. 

Many surge protectors offer a warranty that can cover up to $100,000—giving you peace of mind that you can recover your home appliances.

What Causes Power Surges? 

Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of power surge damage from a few different causes:

  • Lightning induced surges are the most powerful and destructive, they are also very rare. 

  • Downed Powerlines can cause voltage to fluctuate wildly, causing sporadic surges until the electricity goes out. 

  • Internal Surges 80% of surges are actually generated within the home. These small, but frequent power surges can deteriorate electronic items and shorten their lifespans.

Save Thousands By Installing a Whole House Surge Protector

Whole House Surge Protectors guard against surges by blocking the flow of dangerous power spikes. With your day-to-day, normal electrical use, electricity flows through the Surge Protector without issue to the appliances and electronics in use. 

However, when the Surge Protector detects unusually high voltage, it diverts the excess power away from your home and safely neutralizes it. 

Installing a Whole House Surge Protector 

Installing a Whole House Surge Protector is not a DIY job—our professionally licensed electricians help you choose the right surge protector for your home and install it safely.

Determining Your Voltage Need 

We begin by determining which unit will work best based on your voltage needs. The typical home has 120-volt service and will need an 80kA-rated Surge Protector. If your home has additional electrical sub panels we may recommend additional protection.

Choosing a High-Quality Whole-House Surge Protector

After we determine your voltage needs, we choose a surge protector from one of the quality brands that we know and trust. 

All surge protectors we install:

  • Come with a $100,000 Warranty for items in your home

  • Include a Lifetime Guarantee that includes free replacement (not including labor)

  • Are Tested & Approved by the international safety organization, Underwriter Laboratories. 

  • Feature Indicator Lights to alert you if the surge protector itself has been damaged

Proper Installation is Essential
