Types of Surge Protection Services We Provide

At Blais Electric, we offer a range of surge protection options to suit different homes, businesses, and electrical systems:

Whole Home Surge Protection

Installed directly at your electrical panel, whole home surge protectors guard against voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility issues, or internal electrical activity. This is the most effective way to protect your entire home at once.

Panel-Based Surge Protection

Panel-mounted surge protection devices provide an added layer of defense at the main point where electricity enters your building, helping prevent surges from spreading through your electrical system.

Point-of-Use Surge Protection

For particularly sensitive electronics or equipment, we install dedicated surge protection at specific outlets or circuits for added peace of mind.

 

Surge Protection for New Installations

We integrate surge protection into new electrical panels, service upgrades, renovations, and EV charger installations to ensure your system is protected from day one.

Commercial Surge Protection

Custom surge protection solutions for offices, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and multi-unit buildings to protect equipment, systems, and operations.

Surge Protection Assessments

We assess your existing electrical system to identify surge risks and recommend the right level of protection based on your usage and equipment.

Surge Protection FAQs

What causes electrical power surges?

Power surges can be caused by lightning, utility grid switching, power outages, faulty wiring, or large appliances cycling on and off.

Is whole home surge protection worth it?

Yes. Whole home surge protection provides far more comprehensive protection than plug-in surge protectors alone and helps protect all connected devices.

Do surge protectors stop all power issues?

Surge protection reduces damage from voltage spikes, but it does not prevent outages. It is designed to protect equipment when power fluctuates unexpectedly.

Can surge protection be added to an existing electrical panel?

Yes. Surge protection can be added to most existing panels after an inspection to ensure compatibility and proper grounding.

How long does surge protection installation take?

Most installations can be completed in a single visit, depending on the electrical system and type of protection being installed.

Do you offer warranties on surge protection installations?

Yes. We install high-quality devices and stand behind our work. Warranty details are always explained before installation.
