Whole-home surge protection in Omaha

A whole-home surge protector is installed at the electrical panel or the meter and limits voltage spikes before they reach the circuits in the house. Many surges are small and come from inside the home (air conditioners, refrigerators and other motors switching on and off), and over time they wear down the electronics in appliances, furnaces and TVs. A panel-mounted device works together with plug-in surge strips at sensitive equipment, not instead of them.

Whole-Home Surge Protection

Signs you may need whole-home surge protection

  • Electronics or appliance control boards that fail early or without explanation
  • Lights that flicker when a large appliance starts
  • Frequent thunderstorms or utility outages in your area
  • New smart appliances, a heat pump or an EV charger you want to protect
  • Your panel is being replaced or upgraded anyway

What affects the price

Every home is different. These are the biggest factors in the price:

  • Panel-mounted versus meter-mounted device
  • Whether the panel has a free breaker space
  • Grounding or bonding corrections the panel needs first
  • Adding protection for coaxial, phone or network lines
  • Whether it's installed on its own or alongside a panel upgrade
