Frequently Asked Questions

What does a whole-home surge protector actually protect?

It protects your appliances, electronics, HVAC system, and electrical panel from voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility events, or generator transfers.

Do I still need surge protection if I have a standby generator?

Yes. Generator startups and transfers can create their own voltage spikes. We install surge protection specifically for transfer switches and generator-connected circuits.

How long does surge protection installation take?

Most whole-home surge protector installations take two hours or less. Point-of-use installations on specific circuits are often completed in under an hour.

Is a whole-home surge protector worth the cost?

A single power surge can destroy thousands of dollars in appliances and electronics. A whole-home unit typically costs far less than replacing one major appliance.

Need Generator Financing?

Financing available for generators and other large electrical projects.
