Common questions about whole house surge protection in Goodyears Bar
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 Goodyears Bar.
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.
In customers' words
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.
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.
They installed our Level 2 charger in the garage and explained the load calculation in plain English. Clean conduit run, no mess, and the price matched the quote.
