Potter Valley whole house surge protection FAQs

Don't power strips already protect my electronics?

They help with what's plugged into them, but they do nothing for hardwired equipment like air conditioners, ovens and furnaces. A panel-mounted device protects every circuit, and the two work best together.

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 Potter Valley.

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

A 1940s house with original wiring. They rewired it room by room so we could keep living there, and labeled the new panel so clearly even I can read it.
