COMMON QUESTIONS

SURGE PROTECTION INSTALLATION FAQ

Does whole-home surge protection replace a surge strip?+

Panel-mounted protection and suitable point-of-use devices serve different roles. A layered approach may be appropriate for sensitive electronics.

Will it prevent every type of electrical damage?+

No. Surge protection helps reduce exposure to transient voltage spikes. It does not guarantee protection from every event or correct existing wiring faults.

Can you install it in an existing electrical panel?+

Often, yes. We first check the panel, system voltage, available space, and the selected device’s requirements.

What affects the installation price?+

The device selected, panel compatibility, available space, access, and any additional electrical work affect the cost. Panel photos can help us review your request.
