One layer of protection for your entire home
A single power surge — from a lightning strike, a grid fluctuation, or a large appliance cycling on — can quietly degrade or instantly destroy the electronics throughout your home. Power strips only protect what's plugged into them, leaving your HVAC, appliances, and hardwired devices exposed.
Power Up installs whole-home surge protection directly at your electrical panel, creating a first line of defense for everything in your home. It's a small investment that can save you from replacing expensive electronics, appliances, and systems after a single surge.

Don't power strips already protect my electronics?+
Only partially. A power strip protects only the devices plugged into it, and many wear out over time without any indication. Whole-home surge protection guards every circuit in your home — including hardwired appliances, HVAC, and lighting that a power strip can't reach.
What causes power surges?+
Surges come from many sources: lightning strikes, utility grid switching and fluctuations, downed power lines, and even large appliances like ACs and refrigerators cycling on and off inside your own home. Most surges are small but repeated, quietly degrading electronics over time.
Is whole-home surge protection worth it?+
For most homes, yes. Compared to the cost of replacing TVs, computers, appliances, and HVAC equipment after a surge, a panel-mounted protector is an inexpensive safeguard. It's especially worthwhile for homes with lots of electronics or smart-home equipment.
Can I combine it with point-of-use protectors?+
Yes, and we often recommend it. Whole-home protection handles the large surges, while point-of-use protectors add a second layer for your most sensitive electronics. Together they provide the best defense.
How long does installation take?+
Whole-home surge protection is typically installed in a single visit. The device mounts at your electrical panel and is wired in by our licensed electrician.
