Whole-House Surge Protection

Panel-mounted surge protective devices that stand between NC storm season and every circuit board in your house.

Modern homes are full of circuit boards — HVAC, fridge, washer, EV charger, garage opener — and one nearby lightning strike or utility switching spike can take several out at once. A panel-mounted Type 2 SPD clamps surges at the service entrance before they reach your equipment.

Installation is quick and inexpensive relative to what it protects, and the 2023 NEC now requires surge protection on new and replaced services. We install quality SPDs with status indication so you know it's still doing its job.

FAQ

Common questions

Do power strips already protect me?

Point-of-use strips help, but they're the last layer, not the first. A panel SPD clamps the big hits at the entrance; strips mop up what's left for sensitive gear.

How much does whole-house surge protection cost?

It's one of the least expensive protective upgrades in the trade — typically a fraction of replacing one HVAC control board. We quote it flat, in writing, before work starts.

Does a surge protector wear out?

Yes — SPDs sacrifice themselves absorbing surges. Quality units have indicator lights; when the light changes, the device has done its job and should be replaced.
