Frequently Asked Questions About Surge Protection

How much does surge protection cost in Portland? +
Most whole-home surge protector installations range from $500 to $1,500, with an average around $800. The cost depends on your panel size, meter type, and any needed upgrades. We provide a free estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need whole-home surge protection or just power strips? +
Whole-home protection defends against large external surges (like lightning) and internal spikes from appliances. Power strips only guard against smaller surges and can’t handle major events. For true protection, we recommend whole-home units plus point-of-use strips for sensitive gear.
Will surge protection guard against lightning strikes? +
No surge protector can completely stop a direct lightning strike, but a properly installed whole-home unit can absorb most of the energy from indirect surges caused by lightning, protecting your electronics from serious damage.
How long does installation take? +
Installation usually takes one to two hours for a standard whole-home unit. If we need to upgrade your grounding or panel, it may take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate during the free assessment.
