We offer a variety of surge protectors tailored to Gaithersburg homes, including point-of-use protectors, whole-house surge protection systems, heavy-duty protectors for large appliances, multi-outlet surge strips for home offices, and smart surge protectors for advanced protection. Each type is designed to meet different needs and budgets.

The duration of a surge protector installation can vary depending on the type and complexity of the system. A simple point-of-use protector can be installed in minutes, while a whole-house system might take a few hours. We always strive to complete installations efficiently without compromising on quality. It’s best to be available at the beginning and end of the process, though you don’t need to be present throughout.

While surge protectors are primarily designed to protect your devices from power surges, some modern models can contribute to energy efficiency. They can help reduce standby power consumption of connected devices and provide power management features. However, for significant energy savings, we recommend combining surge protection with other energy-efficient solutions.

The lifespan of a surge protector depends on its quality and the number of surges it has absorbed. Generally, we recommend replacing point-of-use surge protectors every 2-3 years. Whole-house surge protectors can last longer, typically 5-10 years. However, if you experience a major surge or lightning strike, it’s wise to have your protection system checked and possibly replaced sooner. We offer inspection services to ensure your surge protection is always up to date.
