Power surges can occur in a split second — but the damage they cause to electronics,
appliances, and electrical systems can be permanent. Whether caused by lightning, utility
switching, or internal load spikes, electrical surges can destroy sensitive equipment and shorten the life of your entire electrical system. At Second Opinion Electric, we install whole-house surge arrestors (also called surge protectors or suppressors) that protect your entire home or business at the panel level — keeping everything from your HVAC to your phone charger safe from harm.
A surge arrestor is a device mounted directly at your main electrical panel. It detects incoming voltage spikes and diverts excess energy safely into the ground before it reaches your circuits and connected devices. Unlike plug-in surge strips, whole-house units provide primary protection at the service entrance — and are designed to handle large surges from outside sources.
Surge arrestors help protect:
As of the 2020 National Electrical Code, surge protection is required on new homes or panel upgrades. Let us ensure your system is compliant and protected.
Don’t leave your electronics, appliances, or smart devices vulnerable to sudden power surges. Let us protect your investment with a professional-grade surge arrestor installed by licensed electricians.
