Changes in regional climate conditions increase the potential for convective energy, increasing the frequency of thunderstorms.

Professional Surge Protection for Your Home

We install whole-home surge protectors between the service switch and the main electrical panel. These systems stop dangerous voltage spikes at the source. Through monitoring and grounding, they intercept power surges from lightning or grid fluctuations before they touch your circuits. Unlike power strips that provide individual surge protection, our systems protect all your circuits, wiring, outlets, and lighting.

Our electrical surge protection systems are perfect to shield the following from voltage spikes:

Furnaces and air conditioners
Heat pumps
Ductless mini-splits
Water heaters
Personal computing devices
Smart appliances

Whole-Home Surge Protector Installation

Metal oxide varistors are at the heart of electrical surge protection systems. They are the primary defense mechanisms that detect voltage spikes and control resistance across all circuits. When a power surge occurs, the resistance drops instantly, creating a low-impedance path. The system grounds the excess voltage to prevent electrical damage to your appliances and everything else plugged into an outlet.

Only licensed electricians can work on your electrical system to provide surge protector installation in Bellingham, WA. These projects require pulling permits from the eTRAKiT system and passing code inspection. Our experienced electricians know how to correctly install these devices to increase the safety and performance of your electrical system.

Electrical Surge Risk Assessment

We begin all whole-home surge protector projects with a surge risk assessment. Many older Bellingham homes require grounding system upgrades to ensure the surge protector can safely discharge the excess voltage. Some legacy equipment and old breaker boxes may not offer sufficient space to install new protective hardware. In these cases, we can install an upgrade or a new panel to increase overall safety and energy efficiency. We can install equipment to protect against both internal and external energy spikes.
