Power surges can cause incremental damage to delicate electronics, leading to failure over time.

Whole house surge protection covers them all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Surge Protection, and Why is It Important?
Surge protection is a system designed to protect your electrical devices and home from voltage spikes or power surges. These surges can damage sensitive electronics, appliances, and even cause electrical fires.
What Causes Power Surges?
Power surges can be caused by lightning strikes, utility grid switching, large appliances cycling on and off, or issues with wiring. They can also occur when power is restored after an outage.
How Does a Whole-House Surge Protector Work?
A whole-house surge protector is installed at your main electrical panel and diverts excess voltage from surges away from your home’s wiring, protecting all connected devices and appliances.
How Much Does Whole-House Surge Protection Cost in Sacramento, CA?
The cost of installing whole-house surge protection varies depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the installation. After a thorough inspection and diagnosis, our electricians will provide an upfront cost with no hidden fees.
Will Surge Protection Protect My Home from Lightning Strikes?
While surge protectors can help reduce the risk of damage from lightning strikes, they cannot provide 100% protection from a direct hit. However, they are highly effective at protecting against most electrical surges.
Do I Still Need Surge Protectors for Individual Devices if I Have a Whole-House Surge Protector?
Yes, it’s recommended to use point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive electronics such as computers and home entertainment systems for an added layer of protection.
Can Power Surges Damage My Appliances and Electronics?
Yes, power surges can cause significant damage to appliances and electronics, including shortening their lifespan or causing them to fail completely.
How Often Should Surge Protectors Be Replaced?
Whole-house surge protectors should be inspected and possibly replaced every 3 to 5 years, or after a major surge event. Point-of-use surge protectors may need replacing sooner if they’ve absorbed a large surge.
Does Surge Protection Help Save On Energy Costs?
While surge protection doesn’t directly reduce energy consumption, it helps protect your devices from damage, potentially saving you money on costly repairs or replacements.
Do I Need a Permit To Install Surge Protection in Sacramento?
In most cases, no permit is required for installing surge protection devices. However, if the installation involves changes to your electrical panel, a permit may be necessary. We can assist with the permit process if required.
