A whole-house surge protector is a Type 2 surge protective device mounted at or next to your electrical panel. It diverts voltage spikes from the utility grid, storms and your own large motors to ground before they reach your appliances. Washington has required one on every new or replaced panel since the 2020 edition of the electrical code; on an existing panel a licensed electrician adds one on a dedicated two-pole breaker in about an hour.

What We Find

Where Surges Come From

Utility switching

Most surges are small and come from the grid itself dozens of times a day. They wear electronics down rather than killing them at once.

Storms

Nearby lightning and lines knocked together in wind send the big spikes. A direct strike is beyond any device; a nearby one is exactly what this stops.

Your own appliances

A heat pump compressor or well pump cycling off sends a spike back through the house. Internal surges are the most common kind.

Power coming back after an outage

The restore moment is a surge. Appliances that died "in the outage" usually died when the power returned.

A loose neutral

Not a surge but it looks like one — voltage swings room to room. If lights brighten and dim on their own, that is a repair call first.

Panel work

Replacing a panel without a surge device is no longer code-compliant. We include one on every panel we install.

Why Next Phase

Small Jobs, Taken Seriously

A dead outlet gets the same licensed electrician and the same code as a panel upgrade. Bad connections are how house fires start.

FAQ

Common Questions

Against a strike nearby, on the lines or a transformer — yes, that is what it is for. Against a direct strike on the house, no device can. Layer it with point-of-use strips at the TV and computer for the small spikes that get past the panel.

A status light on the device stays green while it is protecting. After a large surge the indicator changes; the house still has power, but the protection has been used up and the device should be replaced.

On any new panel or panel replacement in Washington, yes, since the 2020 code cycle. Adding one to an existing panel is optional and, in our view, the cheapest insurance you can buy for a heat pump or EV charger.

Two spaces for the dedicated breaker it should be on. If your panel is full, we can use a tandem breaker where the panel allows it, or mount a protector designed to share the main lugs.

The opposite. Several heat pump and EV charger manufacturers recommend surge protection, and some surge devices carry a connected-equipment warranty that pays for damage if the device fails.
