Surge Protection Installation

Serving Georgetown, Acton, Erin, Guelph, Orangeville, Caledon & Surrounding Areas

Having the right surge protection is the first step in protecting your home and your valuables from surge damage. A surge is a sudden, sharp spike in voltage and current flowing through your electrical lines, usually caused by something like a lightning strike or a failure somewhere in the electrical distribution grid. When this happens, the current and voltage overwhelms circuits, blows out breakers, and seriously damages everything from wires to outlets to the devices plugged into them. 

In an instant, a surge like this can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage, and that’s not including the value of what might be lost in terms of data or other electronic devices.

Why You Need a Whole-Home Surge Protector

A whole-home surge protector is a device that’s installed on your main power input that constantly monitors your electrical flow. If the device detects a surge coming from your power supply, it cuts off the power connection and stops the flow of current and voltage completely. This stops the surge from reaching the various outlets and devices in your home, preventing damage and keeping your electrical system intact. 

By investing in a whole-home surge protector that provides around-the-clock protection, you ensure the integral parts of your electrical system remain intact and functioning in the aftermath of a surge. Ultimately, this dramatically reduces – and can even eliminate – repair time.

What’s the Best Way to Protect My Home from Electrical Surges?

The best way to protect your home and belongings from electrical surges is to take a two-stage approach.

Stage 1: Primary Protection – Service Entrance

This provides protection against electrical surges at the point where the electricity enters your home – the electrical panel.

Stage 2: Secondary Protection – Point of Use 

This provides protection against surges from destroying your electronic devices, like laptops, computers, TVs, phones, etc.

A two-stage approach to surge protection prevents damage to your property and your belongings from most power surges, spikes and voltage impulses.

We had issues with our Generac (Guardian 26kw model) and Tim was amazing in servicing the generator, and explaining the error to us in simple terms so we could understand. He was on time, professional and very helpful. Would highly recommend and looking forward to using Highfield Electric in the future again!

Tyler did a great job installing some outlets/lights in our basement. Was always on time and easy to communicate with. He worked efficiently and was respectful, making sure to not leave behind a mess. My parents especially appreciated not wearing outdoors shoes through the house, those sorts of small things made the experience especially pleasant. Highly recommend!
