Surge Protection FAQs

What is a power surge?

A power surge is a sudden spike in electrical voltage that can damage appliances, electronics and parts of your home’s electrical system.

Why should I consider surge protection for my home?

Surge protection can help reduce the risk of damage to valuable appliances and electronics caused by power spikes or supply fluctuations.

Can surge protection help protect appliances?

Yes. One of the main reasons homeowners choose surge protection is to better protect connected appliances and electronics from unexpected surges.

Do you provide upfront pricing for surge protection work?

Yes. Your electrician will assess the setup, explain the options and provide pricing before work begins.

Can surge protection be added as part of other electrical work?

In some cases, yes. Surge protection may be installed as part of broader electrical work depending on the setup and your household needs.

Where is surge protection installed?

Whole-home surge protection is typically installed at your main electrical panel by a qualified electrician. Individual device protectors can be plugged into wall outlets.

How long does it take to install whole-home surge protection?

Installation time can vary depending on your current electrical setup, but for a standard residential panel, it often takes between one to three hours.

Does surge protection cover lightning strikes?

While surge protectors can handle some electrical surges caused by nearby lightning, direct lightning strikes are often too powerful for standard surge protectors to completely manage. They offer protection from the more common, smaller utility surges.

How often does surge protection need to be replaced?

A whole-home surge protector has a lifespan that depends on the number and intensity of surges it absorbs. Your electrician should inspect it periodically, but many high-quality units come with a warranty and lifetime of several years.

What is the difference between a whole-home surge protector and a power strip with surge protection?

A whole-home surge protector guards all connected appliances and electronics by being installed at the electrical panel, stopping the surge before it enters your home's wiring. A power strip only protects the devices plugged directly into it.
