Whole house surge protection in Graford: local conditions
North Texas weather is tough on electrical systems: spring hail and tornado-season thunderstorms, summer heat that pushes air conditioners to their limits, and winter ice that brings down lines. Many homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s still have their original panels, and some have aluminum branch wiring, so panel replacements and wiring corrections are frequent jobs. We plan whole house surge protection in Graford with those conditions in mind.
Whole house surge protection cost in Graford
Whole house surge protection cost in Graford depends on the device rating, your panel type, and whether the panel has space for the breaker. In most homes it is a short installation. If the grounding system needs correcting first, that adds to the job, and we will show you why it matters.

Whole house surge protection in Graford: common questions
Does whole house surge protection stop lightning?
It handles the surges that come in on the power lines from nearby strikes, which are the common ones. No device can promise protection from a direct strike to the house. It greatly reduces the everyday surge damage that shortens the life of electronics.
Do I still need power strips with a whole house surge protector?
For computers, televisions and audio equipment, yes. A good point-of-use protector behind the panel device gives layered protection.
How long does surge protector installation take?
Usually an hour or two when the panel has room. Power is off briefly while we connect the device.
Is surge protection required by code?
Recent editions of the National Electrical Code call for surge protection on new and replaced home services. Existing homes are not forced to add it, but it is a sensible upgrade.
