Common Questions

Surge Protection FAQ

What exactly is whole-home surge protection?
A whole-home surge protector is a device installed directly at your electrical panel that monitors incoming voltage and clamps any dangerous spikes before they can travel through your home's wiring. Unlike power strips, it protects every circuit in your home simultaneously — including hardwired systems like your HVAC.
How long does installation take?
Most whole-home surge protector installations take between 1 and 2 hours. Our licensed electrician will assess your panel, install the device, test the system, and walk you through everything before they leave. No significant disruption to your day.
Does surge protection cover lightning strikes?
Whole-home surge protectors provide significant protection against lightning-induced surges entering through your utility service line. However, a direct lightning strike can exceed the capacity of any device. We recommend a layered approach — panel-level protection combined with point-of-use protection for your most sensitive electronics.
Will surge protection work with my existing electrical panel?
In nearly all cases, yes. Whole-home surge protectors can be installed on virtually any standard residential electrical panel, including 100A, 150A, and 200A service panels. Our electrician will confirm compatibility during the assessment. We work with Square D, Eaton, Leviton, Siemens, and more.
Do I still need power strips with surge protection?
Panel-level protection is the most important layer of defense. For your most sensitive electronics — computers, home theater equipment, gaming systems — we recommend also using quality point-of-use surge strips as a second layer. This layered approach gives you the best coverage.
How much does whole-home surge protection cost in Apex, NC?
Whole-home surge protector installation in the Triangle Area typically ranges from $300 to $600 depending on the device, your panel configuration, and any additional grounding work needed. We provide a transparent, upfront quote before any work begins — no surprises.
My HVAC company mentioned surge protection — is it the same?
HVAC-specific surge protectors protect only your HVAC unit. Whole-home panel protection is broader — it protects every circuit and appliance in your home. For the best coverage, you can have both, but panel-level protection is the foundational layer we always recommend first.
Does homeowners insurance cover surge damage?
Some policies cover damage from power surges caused by lightning, but coverage varies widely, deductibles apply, and internal surges are often excluded. Whole-home surge protection is a far more cost-effective solution than relying on insurance after the fact.
