Why a Whole-House Surge Protector Matters

Think of a whole-house surge protector as your home’s first line of defense. Unlike standard plug-in surge protectors, this system is installed directly into your electrical panel, protecting everything connected to it—from your HVAC system to your favorite gadgets. Here’s how it helps:

Addressing the “What Ifs”

1. “Will it protect me from all surges?” While no device can stop 100% of surges, a professionally installed whole-house surge protector significantly reduces the risk, handling up to 80-90% of spikes effectively.
2. “Is it worth the investment?” Yes—replacing appliances or repairing an electrical system damaged by a surge often costs far more than installing surge protection. It’s a proactive, cost-effective safety measure. Without this protection, power surges can result in significant expenses. For instance, smart home components damaged by surges or lightning often have replacement costs averaging $3,500, with repairs around $850. In 2021, nearly 61,000 homeowners insurance claims for lightning damage averaged settlements of over $21,000 per claim, highlighting the severe financial impact of unprotected power surges. By comparison, installing a whole-house surge protector typically costs between $200 and $800, including installation, making it a prudent investment to prevent costly appliance replacements and repairs.
3. “What about installation disruptions?” Our licensed electricians work efficiently to integrate the surge protector into your system with minimal disruption. In most cases, installation is completed in just a few hours.
