Sudden, extreme spikes in voltage can damage the appliances and electronics in your home. But installing a whole house surge protector can provide peace of mind and dependable protection against the most common causes for electrical surges including lightning strikes, damaged wiring, and overloaded circuits.
THE RISKS OF POWER SURGES
So where are power surges coming from and how much damage can they do? Internal power surges are the most common and these occur when your refrigerator or an air conditioner cycles on and off. As the surge is triggered, it moves through your main electrical panel and circuit breaker box and that can harm sensitive electronics like smart home devices and home entertainment centers
External power surges are triggered by events that happen outside the home and trigger a voltage spike which can also damage electronics, computers, and your home appliances. These external impacts can happen from a lightning strike, a power line issue, or a fluctuation of some kind that originates with your utility provider.
But you can safeguard your home from the risk of both types of power surges with a whole house surge protector.

Installing a whole home surge protector is not a do-it-yourself task. Making a mistake with your main electrical panel or a circuit breaker box can pose serious health risks to you and significant damage to your home and its electrical system.
Electricity is nothing to mess around with, the licensed electricians of Epic Electric are trained and certified in the installation of surge protection and all things electrical in your home. Don’t risk it, call the experts who know what they are doing and do it without interfering with your system's existing breakers to keep your home’s electrical apparatus working properly.
HOW THE INSTALLATION PROCESS WORKS
We first evaluate the condition of your home’s electrical panel and circuit breaker box, identifying sensitive points where power surges can enter the system. Once that assessment is complete, we install your surge protector to provide maximum safety and stability. The device protects against power spikes by diverting excess voltage from your home’s wiring before it can make it through directly to your electronics, appliances, and smart devices.
Once the installation process is complete, we make sure the system is functioning properly with your existing breakers for complete protection against internal and external surges.
