Whole House Surge Protection cost in Holtville

Common questions about whole house surge protection in Holtville

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 Holtville.

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.

From recent customers

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

Half the house went dark at 9 pm and an outlet smelled hot. They talked me through shutting off the breaker and had someone at the door that night. He fixed a burned connection and checked the rest of the circuit.
