Serving Davis, Dixon and Woodland

Triple-digit summers mean air conditioners, pool pumps and attic fans run hard for months in Davis. That steady load exposes weak breakers and undersized panels, and it's why many owners pair a panel upgrade with an EV charger, solar or a battery while the work is already open.

Our whole house surge protection service also covers nearby Dixon, Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters, Yolo and Sacramento. ZIP codes served: 95616, 95617, 95618.

What affects whole house surge protection pricing in Davis

Whole house surge protection cost in Davis is modest compared with the equipment it protects. The price depends on the device rating and whether the panel has a spare two-pole breaker space. Most installations take about an hour, and it's often added during a panel upgrade for little extra labor.

Davis whole house surge protection FAQs

Where do surges come from?

Utility switching, nearby faults and lightning cause the big ones. Many smaller surges come from inside the building when motors and compressors cycle on and off.

Is surge protection required by code?

Current electrical code calls for a surge protective device when a home's service equipment is installed or replaced. It's also a sensible add-on to an existing panel.

How long does a surge protector last?

Good devices last years, but each surge wears them a little. Most have an indicator light, and we check it during any service visit in Davis.

Can you install one during a panel upgrade?

Yes, and it's the ideal time. See electrical panel upgrades and, for outage planning, generator installation.

What customers say

After a surge took out our garage door opener and a TV, they installed a whole house protector at the panel. Quick job, clear price, no upsell.

Grace N.Surge protection

After two long outages we had a standby generator put in. They sized it properly instead of pushing the biggest unit, and showed us how the transfer switch works.

Rob H.Standby generator

Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
