Whole House Surge Protection in Stratford, TX

Whole house surge protection in Stratford: local conditions
The Panhandle gets the state's hardest winters, with ice and blizzards that take down lines, plus high winds, hail and summer lightning across open country. Farm and ranch services, shops, grain and irrigation equipment and older in-town homes with dated panels make up much of the electrical work here. That is the background our electricians bring to every whole house surge protection job in Stratford.
Whole house surge protection cost in Stratford
Whole house surge protection cost in Stratford 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 Stratford: 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.
