Whole-Home Surge Protection in Katy, TX
A panel-mounted surge protector that shields every appliance and device in the house from Gulf Coast storms.
Houston-area homes see more lightning and grid switching surges than most of the country. A power strip protects one TV; a whole-home surge protector at the panel protects the HVAC compressor, the refrigerator, the washer and every device behind every outlet.
Installation takes about an hour, and it is the single most cost-effective protection we offer.
What's included
- Panel-mounted Type 2 surge protective devices
- Meter-base Type 1 protection
- Point-of-use protection for home theaters and offices
- Grounding and bonding verification

What to expect
One-hour install
The device mounts beside your panel on a dedicated breaker. No power interruption beyond a few minutes.
Grounding checked
A surge protector is only as good as the ground it dumps into. We verify your grounding electrode and bonding first.
Manufacturer-backed warranty
The devices we install carry connected-equipment warranties, often $25,000 or more, when installed by a licensed electrician.

Questions we hear about surge protection
Does a whole-home surge protector replace power strips?
It handles the big surges that destroy appliances; a quality point-of-use strip still helps for sensitive electronics. Layered is best.
Will it protect against a direct lightning strike?
Nothing fully protects against a direct strike. It protects against the far more common nearby strikes and utility surges that travel through the lines.
How long does it last?
Most devices last 5–10 years. A status light tells you when it has absorbed enough surges to need replacement.
