Choose What Works Best for You

Two clear paths, each designed to help you make an informed decision about your home's electrical safety.

Option 1

Surge Protection Installation

Photo-Based Estimate

If you're looking to add whole-home surge protection, you can send us a photo of your panel (door open), and we'll review it and provide an estimate.

Option 2

Free Panel Safety Inspection

In-Home Visit Required

We'll come to your home, inspect your electrical panel, and explain what we find so you can make an informed decision about your panel's condition.

Why We Offer This

We've been seeing more homes with outdated or unsafe electrical panels, and many homeowners aren't sure if their system is still safe.

At the same time, the updated electrical code now requires surge protection for electrical panels, and many existing homes do not yet have this protection. Learn more about our Panel & Service Upgrades.

Our goal is to help homeowners:

  • Understand their electrical system
  • Identify potential safety concerns
  • Make informed decisions

No pressure. Just clear, honest guidance.
