Whole-House Surge Protection for Dallas Properties
A large share of Dallas homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s and are still running on original panels sized for a house without central air, an EV charger, or today's kitchen appliance load. A single point-of-use surge strip only protects whatever's plugged into it — it does nothing for the HVAC system, water heater, or anything hardwired. A surge protective device installed at the panel covers the whole home from a single point.
Coverage extends across Dallas, including Oak Lawn and Lake Highlands, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the whole Dallas metro or just the city core?
Coverage extends across Dallas and into the surrounding North Texas metro — call to confirm coverage for a specific address if you're near the edge of the service area.
Are you used to older Dallas homes with original 1960s-70s panels?
Yes — undersized original panels and aging wiring in Dallas's older housing stock are a routine part of the work here.
Do storm-related outages get priority in Dallas during spring storm season?
Yes — surge damage and outages tied to active severe weather are treated as priority calls, the same as any other electrical emergency.
Do you handle electrical work for new infill construction in Dallas neighborhoods?
Yes — new-build wiring in Dallas's infill and remodel projects is handled alongside service work on older homes.
Isn't a power strip surge protector enough?
A point-of-use strip only protects what's plugged into it — it doesn't cover the HVAC system, water heater, or anything hardwired. A whole-home device at the panel covers everything at once.
How much protection does a whole-home surge protector actually add?
It significantly reduces the risk of damage from grid-level spikes and nearby lightning strikes, though it can't fully eliminate risk from a direct strike — pairing it with point-of-use protection for the most sensitive equipment is common.
Does surge protection need to be paired with anything else?
It's often installed alongside a panel upgrade or generator hookup, since all three touch the same part of the panel, but it can also be added on its own.
