A voltage surge can damage appliance controls. We install surge protection to help limit the voltage that reaches connected equipment.

Whole-house surge protection for Hoagland properties

Whole-house surge protection gives homes and businesses a way to reduce exposure to voltage spikes. We help you choose protection for the electrical panel and the equipment it serves. A panel device doesn't prevent every surge or replace a needed electrical repair.

We recommend considering plug-in protection for valuable equipment as well, because protection at the panel and at the outlet addresses different points in the electrical system.

  • Identify appliances and equipment you want to protect.
  • Know where your electrical panel is and make it accessible.
  • Tell us about any existing surge devices or electrical concerns.

Process

Steps for installing panel surge protection

1

Discuss the equipment you want to protect

We'll ask about your appliances, existing protection and access to the electrical panel.

2

Assess the panel

We check the panel arrangement, connection options and grounding before selecting a device.

3

Review the quote

You'll receive a quote based on the device and work your panel needs.

4

Install and check the device

We connect the surge device, check its status and explain what its indicator means.

Choosing protection for your electrical setup

Panel and device fit

The electrical panel guides the choice of surge device and its connection. We'll discuss the setup with you before work begins.

Repairs for active faults

A surge device isn't a repair for damaged wiring or a faulty breaker. We also provide troubleshooting and electrical repairs when those are the work your property needs.

What panel surge protection does for you

A panel-connected device helps limit voltage spikes before they reach circuits throughout the property.

An assessment gives you a basis for choosing protection that fits your panel.

An explanation of the status indicator helps you know what to watch after installation.

Questions about protecting appliances from surges

How does whole-house surge protection safeguard my appliances?

Surge protection helps safeguard sensitive electronics and appliance controls by limiting excess voltage on connected circuits. Chris Miller Electric installs a device at the electrical panel for that purpose. The device reduces exposure to a surge, but it can't eliminate every risk of damage. You can also use suitable plug-in protection for equipment you especially want to protect.

What should I prepare before the installation?

Clear access to the electrical panel helps us assess and install your surge device. Move stored items away from the panel before we arrive, and let us know about any access restrictions. You can also tell us about existing surge strips and equipment that needs protection. We'll discuss any electrical interruption needed for the work before it begins.

Which panel details change the price of the work?

Panel connection options and the surge device selected affect the price of installation. Existing electrical conditions can also change the scope of work. We'll assess the panel and provide a quote based on your property's setup. You can ask us to explain the proposed device and any other work included before you agree to proceed.

When a breaker keeps tripping, will surge protection fix it?

A surge device won't fix the fault that makes a breaker trip. We troubleshoot the circuit and breaker to identify the cause. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips repeatedly. Tell us what happened and which equipment was in use, so we can discuss the electrical repair separately from surge protection.

Why would I keep a plug-in surge strip after panel protection?

A plug-in surge strip adds protection close to the equipment connected to it. Panel protection and outlet protection cover different points in the electrical system. We can discuss your existing devices when planning the panel work. Check the strip's instructions and status indicator, since a worn or damaged strip may need replacement.
