Greater Seattle and Walla Walla’s Whole Home Surge Protection
Protect your home and family! Prevent power surges with a whole home surge protector from Switch Electric.
A power surge occurs when the voltage exceeds the normal flow of electricity. While this may sound harmless, power surges can damage your electronics or even start a fire in your home. In addition to electronics, it safeguards appliances, lighting, air conditioning, heating systems, and every outlet in the home. Unlike surge strips that only protect individual devices, whole house surge protectors provide comprehensive coverage for all your valuable equipment. Whole home systems are especially important for modern homes with interconnected devices and smart technology. Surge protectors work by diverting excess voltage safely into the ground, and proper grounding is essential for effective protection and system reliability. Whole house surge protectors are installed directly into the electrical panel as a comprehensive safety measure. House surge protector installation helps secure your home’s safety by preventing electrical damage and ensuring stable operation of your electrical systems. These devices are installed at your main electrical panel or meter. They work by constantly monitoring incoming electricity to protect devices in your home against power surges.
In addition to surge protection, we offer a full range of electrical services, including solar panel installations. We are committed to customer satisfaction and providing reliable solutions for all your needs. If you’re unsure whether you need this level of protection, our experienced electricians can help you find the best possible solution for your home, as these devices can protect your home for up to 40,000 amps. We encourage customers to schedule their surge protector installation for prompt and dependable service. If you want peace of mind that your home is protected against power surges, contact Switch Electric to request a free quote for a whole home surge protector.

What causes power surges?
Power surges have many causes that originate from both inside and outside of your home. Common causes include:
- Power line surges
- Lightning strikes or severe weather
- Old or faulty wiring
- Short circuits or tripped circuit breakers
- Operation of high-power appliances and electronics
Regardless of the cause of the power surge, our whole home power surge protectors can keep your home, its contents, and its occupants safe from the risks involved with these events. Surge protectors work by diverting excess voltage safely into the ground, preventing damage to your appliances and wiring.
What’s the difference between whole home & point-of-use surge protection?
While there are surge protectors for specific outlets or circuits, known as point-of-use surge protection, these are typically used to protect individual devices such as computers, TVs, or kitchen appliances. Only a whole home surge protector can protect all circuits from power surges.
How can I tell when a power surge is happening?
There are many signs that a power surge is occurring in your home. Common signs include:
- Flickering, buzzing, or dimming lights
- Frayed wiring
- Discoloration near outlets or areas surrounding wires
- Smoke coming from outlets
- Warm or vibrating outlets
- Foul odors near outlets
If you notice any of these signs, please contact Switch Electric for assistance. To prevent power surges from occurring, consider installing a whole home surge protector.
