Protect your appliances, electronics, and HVAC systems from lightning strikes and power surges. Professional installation of whole-house surge protectors at your electrical panel.
Power surges happen more often than you think. Lightning strikes, utility grid switching, and even high-power appliances cycling on and off can send dangerous voltage spikes through your home's wiring.
Colorado ranks in the top states for lightning strikes. One direct hit or nearby strike can destroy every electronic device in your home.
Modern HVAC systems, smart appliances, computers, and EV chargers contain sensitive circuit boards that can be fried by a single surge.
While homeowners insurance may cover some surge damage, you'll still pay deductibles and deal with replacement hassles. Prevention is cheaper.
Direct hits or nearby strikes induce thousands of volts into power lines.
Utility company equipment switching creates brief voltage spikes.
AC compressors, pumps, and motors create small surges when cycling.
Accidents and storms cause voltage irregularities when lines touch.
The best protection uses two levels working together.
Whole-home surge protector installed at your main electrical panel stops large surges before they enter your home's wiring.
Quality surge protector power strips at sensitive electronics catch any residual surge that panel protection misses.
Power strips alone are NOT enough. Without panel-level protection, a significant surge can jump past power strips and destroy your equipment.
Install directly on your main electrical panel. Handles up to 100,000+ amps of surge current. Replaceable modules when triggered.
Some utilities allow surge protectors at the meter socket for the first line of defense before your panel.
Additional protection for detached garages, workshops, and outdoor sub-panels.
Panel inspection to determine compatibility and breaker space
Install UL-listed surge protector with proper grounding
Test and verify protection indicators are functioning
Provide documentation for insurance and warranty
Surge protectors require proper grounding to work effectively. If your home has old wiring or insufficient grounding, we may recommend grounding upgrades to ensure protection works when needed.
Many insurers offer discounts for homes with surge protection.
One prevented surge pays for the installation many times over.
Quality units last 5-10 years and protect 24/7/365.
Sleep soundly during storms knowing you're protected.
