Frequently Asked Questions
What is whole-house surge protection and how does it differ from standard power strips?
Whole-house surge protection is installed directly into your electrical panel to guard your entire home from voltage spikes. Unlike standard power strips that only protect a few plugged-in devices, whole-house surge protectors safeguard every outlet, appliance, and system connected to your home’s electrical network.
Do you offer surge protection for both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We provide surge protection installation and service for both homes and businesses. Whether you need to protect sensitive office equipment or your home’s major appliances, our licensed electricians can design a system that fits your needs.
How often should a surge protection system be inspected or replaced?
We recommend having your surge protection system inspected annually to ensure it’s still functioning properly. Most surge protectors last about 3–5 years, but frequent power surges or lightning strikes can shorten their lifespan and require earlier replacement.
Can surge protection prevent damage from lightning strikes?
Whole-house surge protection can help reduce the impact of nearby lightning strikes by diverting excess voltage safely away from your home’s electrical system. While no system can guarantee complete protection from a direct strike, it provides a strong first line of defense against damaging power surges.
