Ranchita whole house surge protection FAQs

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 Ranchita.

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.

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.

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

Twelve recessed lights and two dimmers in the living room, done in a day with no patching needed. The layout advice alone was worth the call.
