Whole home surge protection
Careful planning. Clean installation. Clear communication.Planned for your home
Protect more than the devices plugged into strips.
A whole home surge protective device is installed at the electrical service or distribution equipment to help limit transient voltage before it reaches equipment throughout the home.
It is one part of a layered approach. It does not prevent every kind of electrical damage and is not a substitute for proper grounding, bonding, or point of use protection where recommended.
What we handle
Details that belong in the plan.
We review the existing system, the requested work, and the finished result before defining the scope.
Effective placement
Keep conductors short and routing clean so the device can perform as intended.
Status monitoring
Install the device where its indicator lights or status display can be checked.
Layered protection
Coordinate whole home protection with grounding, bonding, and sensitive point of use equipment.
A complete scope
Built around the real conditions.
Access, existing wiring, equipment requirements, finish work, and local requirements can all affect the installation. We explain what is included before work begins.

Common questions
Useful answers before you schedule.
These are common starting points. The right answer depends on the conditions in your home.
Will whole home surge protection stop lightning damage?+
It can help reduce surge energy, but no device guarantees protection from every lightning event or direct strike.
Do I still need surge strips?+
Point of use protection may still be appropriate for sensitive electronics. A layered approach can provide protection at more than one point.
Does the surge protector need replacement?+
Some devices are replaceable after they reach end of life or absorb a significant event. Status indicators should be checked according to the manufacturer instructions.
Can a surge protector be added to any panel?+
Many panels can accept a suitable device, but equipment compatibility, breaker space, connection method, and the condition of the system must be reviewed.
