About This Service
What Is a Whole House Surge Protector Installation?
Many Westminster homes still operate on original 60-amp or 100-amp panels from the 1955 to 1975 building era, often without any surge protection at all. A single power spike from the Southern California Edison grid or a lightning event nearby can damage every appliance and electronic device plugged in at once. A whole house surge protector installs directly at the main panel, giving blanket protection instead of relying on individual plug-in strips. This installation requires a permit through the City of Westminster Building Division and must be performed by a California C-10 licensed electrician, since it involves working directly inside the panel.

Questions
Whole House Surge Protector Installation FAQs
Is a permit required for surge protector installation?
Yes, since it involves panel work, the City of Westminster Building Division requires a permit.
Will this work with my original 1960s panel?
In most cases yes, though older 60-amp panels may need an upgrade first. We assess this during inspection.
Does SCE need to be notified?
Typically not for surge protector installation alone, but we coordinate with Southern California Edison if panel upgrades are also needed.
