How much does whole-home surge protection cost near Raleigh?

Whole home surge protectors typically cost $200-$700, including the device and professional installation. The final price depends on your electrical panel type, the surge protector's capacity and features, and installation complexity. Higher-capacity units that handle larger surges cost more but provide better protection. We provide upfront pricing and can recommend the right level of protection for your home's needs.

How long do whole-home surge protectors last?

Most whole-home surge protectors last 3-5 years under normal conditions, though this varies based on how many surges they handle. Each surge they block depletes their protective capacity gradually. Many units have indicator lights showing when they need replacement. We recommend having yours checked during electrical inspections to ensure it's still providing adequate protection.

Does homeowners' insurance cover surge damage?

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies provide limited or no coverage for surge damage to electronics and appliances. Even policies that cover lightning strikes often don't cover the resulting surge damage or have low coverage limits. Installing whole-home surge protection prevents damage in the first place, which is far better than hoping your insurance will cover replacements.
