Whole Home Surge Protection Installation – Fort Myers, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: WHOLE HOME SURGE PROTECTION INSTALLATION – FORT MYERS, FL

We recently completed a whole home surge protection installation for a residential client in Fort Myers, FL 33901. The homeowner wanted peace of mind knowing their electronics, appliances, and entire electrical system were protected from damaging voltage spikes and lightning strikes common in Florida.

• Installed a 240V panel-mounted whole home surge protector rated for 80kA surge capacity
• Hardwired the unit directly into the main electrical panel for maximum coverage
• Verified proper grounding and bonding for optimal surge protection performance
• Tested the device for correct operation after installation
• Completed the installation in under 2 hours with minimal disruption to the home

THE RESULT:
The home is now fully protected from harmful power surges. This surge protection system safeguards the client’s electronics, HVAC equipment, appliances, and lighting from costly damage. With Florida’s frequent lightning activity, this upgrade adds both safety and long-term value to the home.

How long does a whole home surge protector last?
Most units last 5–10 years, depending on how often they take a surge hit. They should be inspected regularly by a licensed electrician.

Can I still use my regular power strip surge protectors?
Yes. A whole home surge protector adds a first layer of defense, but it works well alongside point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive devices.

Why is surge protection important in Florida?
Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S., and power surges are common. Installing a whole home surge protector reduces the risk of costly electrical damage.

Do you install whole home surge protection in other areas?
Absolutely. We service Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, and surrounding areas.
