Unlike power strips that protect only individual devices, our whole-home surge protectors are installed directly at your main panel. This allows every outlet and appliance in your home to benefit from high-level protection.
We evaluate your system to ensure safe installation, check for proper grounding, and prevent backflow or surge-related circuit overloads. Our team ensures that all work meets safety standards and manufacturer specifications.
We install name-brand protectors rated for 40,000+ joules—capable of handling serious spikes caused by lightning or grid changes. You’ll have powerful defense against common and extreme surge events.
Our licensed electricians are trained to install surge protection to code, ensuring safe, long-lasting operation. We also offer integration with panel upgrades and other services for a clean, seamless install.
Kansas City-area homeowners trust Current Solutions Electric for expert surge protection installations. Our service is prompt, professional, and backed by a satisfaction guarantee—because your safety matters.
A surge protector guards your devices against voltage spikes, while a basic power strip simply adds more outlets without offering any protection. Some power strips do include surge protection, but not all. For full-home safety, a professionally installed surge protector at the panel level is the most effective option.
The right size surge protector depends on your home’s total electrical load, service panel size, and how many high-powered appliances you use. We’ll evaluate your system during an assessment and recommend the best surge protection device for your setup.
While surge protection isn’t required in all cases, it is strongly recommended, particularly for new builds, remodels, and homes with expensive electronics or HVAC systems. Our team stays up to date on Kansas City code and will let you know if your project needs it.
Surge protection won’t stop a direct lightning strike, but it can help reduce the damage caused by nearby strikes or voltage spikes traveling through the power grid. It’s an essential layer of protection, especially in areas prone to storms like Kansas City.
Most whole-house surge protectors last between 2 to 3 years under normal conditions, but they may wear out sooner after a major surge or lightning event. During your service call, we’ll inspect your existing unit and recommend replacement if needed.
A whole-house surge protector is installed at your main electrical panel and works by redirecting excess voltage away from your home’s circuits during a surge event. It protects everything connected to your electrical system; computers, appliances, HVAC systems, and more.
A power surge is a sudden spike in electrical voltage that can overload your home’s wiring and damage sensitive electronics or appliances. Surge protection helps prevent these events from causing costly repairs or permanent equipment failure.
