Surge protection

Divert electrical spikes before they reach your devices.

We install heavy-duty surge protective devices directly on your main panel, grounding transient voltages caused by lightning strikes and utility switches.

Panel surge protectors

Install Type 2 surge protectors directly on your main breaker panel to guard all downstream branch circuits.

  • Type 2 panel-mounted SPDs
  • LED diagnostic status lights
  • Divert up to 80,000 amps
  • Multi-breaker installations

Utility meter surge units

Mount Type 1 surge protectors directly at the electrical meter base to intercept large external utility surges.

  • Type 1 meter-socket SPDs
  • Heavy lightning mitigation
  • Service entrance setups
  • Utility-side protections

Safeguard your electronics.

Detail your electrical panel brand and model to verify surge protector compatibility.

Surge protection sequence

Three steps to whole-home protection.

01

Verify panel spaces

We inspect your panel cover and breakers to locate two adjacent spaces for the surge device feed.

02

Mount and ground

Hardwire the surge protective device to a dedicated breaker, keeping lead wires short for maximum performance.

03

Inspect grounding bond

Test your electrical service grounding rod connections to ensure a clean path for surge discharges.

Direct answers

Questions homeowners ask before moving forward

Clear answers help you decide whether the next step is a fit. Project-specific facts are confirmed during review and documented before work begins.

How does a whole-home surge protector work?
It monitors incoming voltage. When it detects a dangerous spike, it instantly diverts the excess electrical energy safely into the home's grounding system.
Do surge protectors wear out?
Yes. Every time a surge protector diverts a spike, its internal components degrade slightly. High-quality units feature diagnostic status LEDs to indicate when replacement is needed.
Will it protect against a direct lightning strike?
No device can guarantee protection against a direct, close-range lightning strike, but whole-home SPDs mitigate the peripheral grid surges caused by nearby strikes.
How long does installation take?
A licensed electrician can install a panel-mounted surge protector in about 1 to 2 hours.
Does installing an SPD require a permit?
Yes, adding a dedicated circuit breaker to feed a surge protection device requires an electrical permit and inspection.
