Whole House Surge Protection for Every Outlet, Not Just One
A single power strip won’t stop a surge from lightning or a grid fluctuation from reaching your HVAC system, appliances, or electronics.
A whole house surge protector installs at your panel and protects everything downstream, all at once.

Surge Protection
What Whole House Surge Protection Does
A whole house surge protector installs directly at your electrical panel, so it intercepts a power surge before it reaches any circuit in the home — not just the devices plugged into one power strip. Surges come from more sources than most people expect: lightning strikes, utility grid switching, and even large appliances cycling on and off inside your own home.
Homes with expensive electronics, HVAC systems, or smart home equipment are the most common candidates, since a single surge can damage or destroy multiple devices at once. It’s a one-time installation at the panel rather than something you manage device by device, and it works alongside (not instead of) point-of-use surge strips for especially sensitive equipment. We size the protector to your panel and electrical load, and every install comes with a written estimate before work begins.

Questions
Whole House Surge Protector Installation FAQs
What’s the difference between a whole house surge protector and a power strip?
A power strip only protects whatever is plugged into it. A whole house surge protector installs at your panel and protects every circuit in the home from a single point, including large appliances and hardwired systems a power strip can’t reach.
Can power surges come from inside my own home?
Yes. Large appliances like HVAC systems and refrigerators create small internal surges every time they cycle on and off. Over time these can degrade sensitive electronics even without a storm involved.
Do I still need power strips if I install whole house protection?
Many homeowners keep point-of-use strips on especially sensitive equipment as a second layer, since a whole house unit handles the big surges while a power strip adds extra depth for individual devices.
How long does whole house surge protector installation take?
Most installations are completed in a single visit, since the unit installs directly at the panel. Exact timing depends on your panel’s condition and layout, which we’ll confirm during the on-site estimate.
