Whole-House Surge Protection for Southwest Florida
One nearby strike can take out the AC, the appliances, and everything with a chip in it. A surge protector at the panel is cheap insurance.
State Certified Electrical Contractor · EC 13012575 · Licensed & InsuredFlorida Leads the Country in Lightning Claims
Florida filed more than 5,000 homeowner lightning claims in 2025, the most of any state, and Southwest Florida sits in the most lightning-active corridor in the country. The strike doesn't have to hit your house: a surge riding in on the power line cooks electronics room by room.
A whole-house surge protector mounts at the panel and stops that surge before it spreads through the house. It costs a fraction of one AC repair.

It's Part of the Electrical Code Now
Since 2020, the national electrical code has required whole-home surge protection whenever a home's main panel is installed or replaced. That means every panel upgrade we do includes it, and if your panel was replaced before the rule, adding the device now brings the house to the same standard.
We'll tell you which outlets are worth the second layer and which aren't.
Layer 1: At the Panel
One device stops surges coming in on the power line before they reach any circuit in the house. Required by code on every new or replaced panel.
Layer 2: At the Outlet
Plug-in protectors for the equipment that hurts most to lose: the AC, computers, the TV wall.

Surge Protection Questions
Is whole-home surge protection worth it in Florida?
Yes. Southwest Florida is one of the most lightning-active regions in the country, and a panel-mounted surge protector costs a fraction of one AC repair.
Is surge protection required by code?
Yes, whenever a panel is installed or replaced. The national electrical code has required whole-home surge protection on those jobs since 2020. Existing panels aren't forced to add it, but the device can be added to most panels as-is.
Will it protect against a direct lightning strike?
Nothing fully protects against a direct hit. Surge protection is built for the far more common case: strikes nearby that ride in on the lines. A protector at the panel plus plug-in protection at the outlets covers the overwhelming majority of surge damage, which is why insurance companies like seeing it.
