Why Surge Protection

Protect Your Home Investment

One surge can cost thousands. Protection costs hundreds.

Modern homes are filled with sensitive electronics — smart thermostats, LED lighting, appliances with digital controls, entertainment systems. These devices are vulnerable to power surges that older appliances could shrug off. A whole-home surge protector installed at your panel stops surges at the source, protecting everything downstream.

Installation Process

How Surge Protection Installation Works

Professional installation in about an hour.

Panel Assessment

We inspect your electrical panel to determine the best surge protection device and installation approach.

Device Selection

We recommend a surge protector rated for your home's service size — typically 50,000-100,000 amp capacity.

Installation

The surge protector is installed at your main panel, protecting every circuit in your home from the point of entry.

Testing & Verification

We test the installation and verify the indicator lights show proper protection. You'll know exactly how to monitor it.

Common Questions

Surge Protection FAQ

What causes power surges?

Lightning strikes are the most dramatic cause, but most surges come from utility grid switching, downed power lines, or even large appliances cycling on and off in your own home. Texas storms make surge protection especially important in the Brazos Valley.

What's the difference between whole-home and plug-in surge protectors?

Plug-in surge protectors only protect devices plugged into that specific strip. Whole-home surge protection is installed at your electrical panel and protects every outlet, appliance, and hardwired device in your home — including HVAC systems, refrigerators, and garage door openers that can't use power strips.

Will surge protection stop lightning damage?

A direct lightning strike can overwhelm any surge protector. However, whole-home surge protection handles the vast majority of lightning-related surges that travel through power lines from nearby strikes. It's your best defense short of a direct hit.

How long does whole-home surge protection last?

Most whole-home surge protectors last 3-5 years under normal conditions, longer if surges are infrequent. They have indicator lights that show when protection is active. When the indicator shows the device has absorbed its capacity, it's time for replacement.

Do I still need plug-in surge protectors with whole-home protection?

For most devices, whole-home protection is sufficient. For sensitive electronics like computers, home theater systems, or networking equipment, a layered approach with both whole-home and point-of-use protection provides maximum security.

How much does whole-home surge protection cost?

Whole-home surge protection typically costs $300-$600 installed, depending on your panel type and the device rating. Compare that to replacing a $5,000 HVAC control board or $2,000 refrigerator after a surge — it's one of the best values in home protection.
