Whole-Home Surge Protection

Whole-Home Surge Protection in Charlotte NC

Safeguard Your Home’s Electronics and Appliances

Your home’s electronics, appliances, and wiring are more vulnerable than you might think. Power surges — whether from lightning, utility grid issues, or internal fluctuations — can quietly destroy sensitive equipment and shorten the lifespan of your electrical system. At Amp It Up Electric, we offer professional surge protection installation in Charlotte NC to shield your home from costly damage.

Installing a whole-home surge protector is a smart, affordable way to prevent thousands of dollars in repairs or replacements.

What Causes Electrical Surges?

Surges can come from outside the home or from everyday appliances inside it. Common causes include:

• Lightning strikes (even miles away)
• Power grid switching by the utility company
• Tripped breakers or short circuits
• Large appliances cycling on and off
• Faulty wiring or old panels

A surge protector installed at your electrical panel helps intercept these spikes before they reach your home’s devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need surge protection if I already use power strips?

Power strips offer limited protection and don’t cover hard-wired systems like HVAC, kitchen appliances, or your panel. Whole-home surge protection offers broader, more reliable coverage.

Can surge protection help with lightning strikes?

While no system can 100% prevent damage from a direct strike, whole-house protection greatly reduces the risk from nearby lightning-related surges.

How long does installation take?

Most installs are completed in about an hour, depending on your panel and setup.

Is surge protection worth the investment?

Yes. Replacing one damaged appliance can cost far more than the price of installing full protection for your entire home.
