If you live along Utah’s Wasatch Front, you know how quickly the weather can turn. One minute it’s calm and sunny, the next a lightning storm rolls in or heavy winds knock out the power. These sudden changes can send unexpected surges through your home’s electrical system—damaging everything from your refrigerator to your Wi-Fi router.
That’s why installing a whole-home surge protector is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home and your peace of mind.
At Epic Electric, our licensed Utah electricians install surge protection systems that defend your entire home against unpredictable power spikes—keeping your home safe and your appliances running longer.
What Is a Whole-Home Surge Protector?

A whole-home surge protector is installed directly into your electrical panel and acts as the first line of defense against voltage spikes. Instead of letting sudden surges travel through your wiring, it diverts that excess energy safely to the ground before it can cause damage.
Unlike plug-in surge strips, this protection covers your entire home—including hardwired systems like your HVAC, oven, washer, and garage door opener.
Top Benefits of Installing Whole-Home Surge Protection
1. Protects Every Device in Your Home
Power surges don’t just happen during lightning storms. Everyday activities—like large appliances cycling on or power fluctuations from your utility company—can cause small surges that slowly wear down electronics. Whole-home surge protection shields everything, from your smart home devices to your kitchen appliances.
2. Saves You Money on Repairs and Replacements
Replacing electronics or appliances after a surge can cost thousands of dollars. Surge protection keeps your investment safe, helping you avoid expensive repairs and replacements. Over time, it more than pays for itself.
3. Reduces Fire Risk
Voltage spikes can overheat wires and connections, creating a fire hazard. By stabilizing your home’s electrical current, a surge protector adds an extra layer of safety for your family.
4. Improves Energy Efficiency
By keeping voltage levels consistent, surge protection helps your home’s electrical system run more smoothly. That means less wear and tear on your devices and potentially lower energy costs.
5. Designed for Wasatch Front Weather
Utah’s weather can be wild—lightning, snow, and wind all pose risks to your electrical system. With whole-home surge protection, your home stays safe from the unpredictable storms that sweep through the Wasatch Front.
Protect What Matters Most
Electrical surges can strike at any time, but with a whole-home surge protector installed by Epic Electric, you can rest easy knowing your home is protected year-round.
