A free 30-minute Home Power Protection Assessment from a local licensed electrician. We'll look at your panel and help you see what level of backup power your home and lifestyle actually require. Whole-home surge protection, a generator setup, or both. No pressure. No sales pitch.
Takes 30 seconds. We'll call or text within 1 business hour to schedule.
Most homeowners only know about the most expensive option. Here is the full picture, in plain English, before anyone steps in your door.
A panel-mounted surge protector stops the spike that follows every outage from frying your HVAC board, fridge, and electronics. Homeowner's insurance often won't cover that damage. For many homes, this alone is the right answer, and the most cost-effective layer of protection you can add.
The option most companies don't mention. If you already own a portable generator, or want to, we add a safe inlet and an interlock kit to your panel. When the power goes out, you roll the generator out, plug it in, flip the switch, and power the circuits you choose. A practical middle option that works great for most homes.
Worth considering if you have well water, medical equipment, frequent multi-day outages, or you just don't want to think about it. Kicks on automatically when the power drops. We'll tell you honestly whether the spend makes sense for your house, or if you'd be better off with a simpler setup.
After 30 minutes on-site, you'll know exactly which of these makes sense for your house, and which don't. A clear, honest recommendation. Nothing more.
