A single power surge can destroy thousands of dollars in electronics or appliances. At Atlanta Master Electricians, we install whole-home surge protection systems that safeguard your devices from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, utility issues, and electrical overloads.

Standard plug-in strips offer limited protection. Our licensed electricians install panel-mounted surge protection that blocks surges before they ever reach your home’s wiring or equipment. These systems protect everything—TVs, computers, HVAC systems, refrigerators, and even LED lighting and smart home gear.

We serve homeowners, landlords, and small businesses throughout metro Atlanta with surge protection that’s reliable, long-lasting, and code-compliant.

What Causes Power Surges?

Power surges happen more often than most people realize. Common causes include:

• Lightning strikes near your home or neighborhood

• Power outages or grid switching by utility companies

• Large appliances cycling on and off (AC, washers, etc.)

• Faulty or aging wiring in your electrical system

• Improperly grounded electrical panels or outlets

Even small surges can slowly damage sensitive electronics over time. Whole-house surge protection helps you avoid unexpected replacements and downtime.

Our Surge Protection Services Include

• Whole-house surge protector installation at main panel

• Surge protection for subpanels or detached buildings

• Upgrading old or damaged surge units

• Load-side and service-entry protection systems

• Combination protection for surges, spikes, and voltage fluctuations

• Grounding and bonding checks for optimal safety

• Installation of outlet-level surge protectors (for sensitive equipment)

• Smart surge systems with app or network monitoring

We install leading brands like Eaton, Square D, Siemens, and Leviton—all UL 1449-listed.

Why Whole-House Surge Protection Matters?

1. Protects All Devices at Once

Unlike power strips that protect only a few items, whole-home surge protectors safeguard your entire electrical system.

2. Essential for Modern Smart Homes

Homes today have more electronics than ever—home offices, smart thermostats, TVs, chargers, EV chargers, and more.

3. Prevents Hidden Damage

Low-level surges from appliances or the utility grid can slowly wear down electronics, shortening their lifespan.

4. Reduces Insurance Claims and Downtime

Avoid costly repairs or replacements from lightning strikes or service issues.

5. Required or Recommended by Many Builders

Newer homes are often required by code to include panel-mounted surge protection.

What Does Surge Protection Cover?

Our systems protect:

• HVAC units and thermostats

• Computers and modems

• Televisions and speakers

• Refrigerators and microwaves

• Smart home equipment

• Medical and home office devices

• Washers and dryers

• EV chargers and solar inverters

• Garage door openers

• LED lighting systems

Installation at the electrical panel ensures every circuit gets protection from incoming spikes.

Signs You Need a Surge Protector

• You live in an area prone to storms or power outages

• You’ve experienced device damage after outages

• You have a lot of high-value electronics or appliances

• You’re installing a home office, theater, or smart system

• You use backup generators or solar panels

• You’re upgrading your panel or rewiring the home

Even if you have plug-in strips, they can’t stop the biggest surges from entering through the panel.

Installation Process and What to Expect

• We inspect your panel for available breaker space

• We mount the surge protector externally or internally (depending on model)

• We ensure the unit is properly bonded and grounded

• We label circuits and verify correct installation

• The entire job usually takes under 2 hours

Once installed, the device silently protects your system around the clock. We’ll explain how to monitor the device and when to replace it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Are plug-in surge strips enough?

No. They only protect specific devices and are often not rated for high-voltage surges. Whole-house surge protectors defend your entire system at the panel.

2. How long does a surge protector last?

Most last between 5–10 years. We recommend checking the device annually and replacing it after any major surge event.

3. Can I install one myself?

Panel-mounted protectors must be wired directly into your main breaker panel, which requires a licensed electrician.

4. Will this protect against lightning?

Yes, but no system is 100% lightning-proof. Surge protectors absorb most surges caused by nearby strikes. For direct hits, grounding is critical too.

5. Does this protect my appliances and HVAC systems?

Yes. It shields high-load equipment from voltage spikes that can cause premature failure or fire risk.
