Whole house surge protection in Horseshoe Bay: local conditions
In the Hill Country, strong thunderstorms, lightning and the occasional ice storm take down rural lines, and many properties sit at the end of long service runs where outages last longer. Well pumps, workshops, guest houses and long underground feeders are common here, along with a steady demand for standby generators and surge protection. We plan whole house surge protection in Horseshoe Bay with those conditions in mind.

Whole house surge protection in Horseshoe Bay: 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.
Are surges common in Horseshoe Bay?
Yes. In the Texas Hill Country, storms, utility switching and heavy air conditioning loads all produce surges. Most are too small to notice, and their effect on electronics adds up over time.
