Surge Protector Installation

The electricians in our network handle it all: whole-home surge protectors mounted at your panel, point-of-use units for sensitive electronics, grounding and bonding checks, and full testing once everything's wired in. They also replace older or worn-out units that have stopped protecting your home. Whatever your setup looks like, a local pro takes it from assessment to finished install.

Plug-in strips are fine to handle yourself, but a whole-home surge protector wires directly into your electrical panel and needs a licensed electrician. That work involves your main breaker and proper grounding, where mistakes get dangerous fast. Hiring a pro means it's installed safely, code-compliant, and actually protecting your whole home.

Most whole-home surge protector installs run about $300 to $700, including the unit and labor. Your final price depends on the protection rating you choose, whether your panel has room for the device, and any grounding upgrades your home needs. The electrician confirms the cost up front, so there are no surprises when the work is done.
