What does it cost to install surge protection for my whole home?
The price of installing a whole-home surge protector depends mainly on two things: which unit you decide to purchase and the existing electrical set up that is already installed in your home.
Is a whole home surge protector worth it?
People typically think that using a power strip is enough to protect against a power surge. However, these are not resilient enough to withstand multiple surges.
Once a surge happens, it overheats and burns the wiring inside appliances and devices that are plugged into an outlet. The following are consequences that can happen after a power surge:
- Shortened lifespan of electronics and appliances
- Diminished performance of devices
- Appliances stop working
This can happen to phones, refrigerators, computers, TVs, and more. To keep everything in your home safe and running efficiently, an entire home surge protector is a must. Don’t wait until after it happens, be prepared and take action today!

Understanding Whole Home Surge Protection
Power surges are unexpected spikes in voltage that can damage or destroy electronic devices. These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, downed power lines, or even internal switching within the utility grid. A whole home surge protector acts as a shield for your entire electrical system. It’s installed in your main electrical panel and diverts harmful surges away from your valuable electronics and appliances. When a surge occurs, the surge protector absorbs the excess voltage and safely grounds it, preventing it from reaching your devices.Benefits of Whole Home Surge Protection Installation
