Whole-Home Surge Protection

What is Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Whole-home surge protection is an advanced electrical safety system installed directly into your home’s main electrical panel. It works by detecting and diverting excess voltage away from your home’s wiring and appliances, preventing electrical damage from sudden power surges.

Unlike standard power strips with surge protection, whole-home surge protectors shield every outlet, appliance, and device in your home, providing comprehensive protection against internal and external surges.

Our Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation Process

At Mauzy, we provide a seamless, code-compliant surge protection installation to ensure your home is fully protected.

1. Home Electrical Assessment

Our licensed electricians inspect your electrical panel, wiring, and power consumption to determine the best surge protection solution for your home.

2. Selecting the Right Surge Protector

We install premium-grade surge protectors that meet National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, offering the best protection for your appliances and devices.

3. Professional Installation

The whole-home surge protector is hardwired directly into your main electrical panel, ensuring it protects every circuit in your home.

4. Testing & Verification

We test your surge protector to confirm proper function and peak performance before completing the installation.

5. Ongoing Maintenance & Support

Mauzy provides ongoing maintenance and inspections to keep your surge protection system working optimally.

Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation FAQ

  • Why Do You Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?

    Why Do You Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?

    Power surges can happen at any time, and without protection, they can lead to expensive repairs or replacements. Here are some key reasons to invest in a whole-home surge protector:

    ✅ Protects Expensive Electronics & Appliances

    Modern homes rely on sensitive electronic devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, computers, HVAC systems, and refrigerators. A single surge can destroy circuit boards and shorten their lifespan, costing thousands in replacements.

    ✅ Prevents Electrical Fires

    Power surges can overheat and damage wiring, leading to sparks and electrical fires. A whole-home surge protector blocks excess voltage, reducing the risk of fires caused by sudden power fluctuations.

    ✅ Shields Against Lightning Strikes

    Lightning is a leading cause of power surges. A single lightning strike can send thousands of volts through your home’s electrical system, destroying appliances and potentially causing hazardous electrical fires.

    ✅ Extends the Lifespan of Your Home’s Electrical System

    Frequent small power surges—caused by high-powered appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and microwaves—degrade your home’s wiring over time. Whole-home surge protection helps preserve your electrical system’s longevity.

    ✅ Saves You Money on Repairs & Replacements

    Power surges can cause irreversible damage to electrical panels, outlets, and home automation systems. Installing a whole-home surge protector prevents costly electrical repairs and appliance replacements.

  • Common Causes of Power Surges

    Common Causes of Power Surges

    Power surges can occur for various reasons, both inside and outside your home. Understanding the causes can help you recognize the importance of surge protection.

    ⚡ External Power Surges:

    • Lightning Strikes – Direct or nearby strikes can send thousands of volts through your wiring.
    • Utility Grid Issues – Power company fluctuations, transformer failures, and blackouts often result in surges.
    • Downed Power Lines – Electrical surges can travel through your home if a power line is damaged.

    ⚡ Internal Power Surges:

    • High-Powered Appliances – HVAC systems, refrigerators, and washing machines create voltage spikes when cycling on and off.
    • Faulty Wiring – Aging or damaged electrical wiring increases the risk of power surges.
    • Overloaded Circuits – Too many devices plugged into one circuit can cause fluctuations in voltage.

  • Commonly Asked Questions about Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation

    Commonly Asked Questions about Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation

    How much does whole-home surge protection installation cost?

    The cost of a professional whole-home surge protector installation varies based on your home’s electrical panel and the type of surge protection required. Mauzy offers upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

    Do power strips with surge protection provide the same protection?

    No. While surge-protected power strips can safeguard individual devices, they do not protect your entire home’s wiring, outlets, or appliances. Whole-home surge protection is the best long-term solution to prevent costly electrical damage.

    Can I install a whole-home surge protector myself?

    Whole-home surge protectors require hardwiring into your main electrical panel, which must be done by a licensed electrician. Attempting a DIY installation can be dangerous and may violate electrical codes.

    How long does a whole-home surge protector last?

    Most high-quality surge protectors last between 5 to 10 years, depending on usage and the frequency of power surges. We recommend periodic inspections to ensure your system remains effective.

    Will my whole-home surge protector work during a blackout?

    No. Surge protectors are designed to block excessive voltage surges, but they do not provide backup power. Pairing a whole-home surge protector with a standby generator is the best solution for complete protection.

    Is whole-home surge protection required by code?

    Yes! The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires surge protection for new or upgraded electrical panels. Installing a surge protector ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Just had Evan G from Mauzy do an evaluation on the plumbing on my home. The evaluation could not have been more complete.
Every bit of the plumbing was checked. Yes everything was good to go but if there was an issue Evan with his knowledge would not have missed a thing. At least 2 hours to go through all the plumbing. I recommend every home owner to get the same service. It will save on the long run and if there are minor issues you will be made aware. Evan G was terrific.

5

Kory was great and very thorough , thank you

Mouzy is hands above any other plumbing/electrical A/C, firm I’ve used in the past, and since I am 80 years old, I’ve used a heck of a lot of them. They are fair, polite, and knowledgeable. I have no idea what More can think of to describe them.
You’ll be happy with them!

Joshua was professional and courteous. His detailed description of filtration systems, along with inspection and recommendations for correction of my failed in line water filter were a sell point for the filter I subsequently purchased from Mauzy plumbing. He provided above and beyond service, tightening fixtures and replacing piping and components at no extra charge. He demonstrated how water quality reflected filter performance, which turned out to be what he predicted it would. I was more than satisfied with Joshua’s informed and thorough

I should’ve called Mauzy first! Prior to the call to Mauzy I had 2 companies come out to help me with a plumbing issue I had. Let’s just say it got worse rather than better. Finally, Wilber, an exceptional young man to say the least, came to the rescue! Knowledgeable, efficient, and walked me through every step of the process. Pinpointed the problem and had my plumbing issue resolved. Thank you Mauzy for having exceptional employees that know what they are doing! Will continue my services with Mauzy.

He quickly identified the issue and took the time to explain my options clearly. He made sure everything was cleaned up and working perfectly before leaving which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Definitely recommend this company and highly suggest you request Wilber!

5

Mauzy plumbing installed a tankless water heater for me in February and they did a superb job. The technician from Mauzy who installed my tankless water heater was Franky. I recently had a question about my system and Mauzy immediately sent Franky back to my home to evaluate the situation. He did a thorough analysis and determined that everything is good. I’m sure all of the Mauzy technicians are excellent, but if I ever have a complicated plumbing problem in the future, I would specifically ask for Franky; he is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and I can’t recommend him and Mauzy highly enough.

5

Mike Kesner was great! Professional, knew what to do to check the issue and was efficient in its resolution.

5

Excellent both times. Technicians were knowledgeable and polite. Respectfull of my house. Top notch service.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Annello from Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and I cannot say enough about how great the experience was. From start to finish, Joe stood out for his exceptional professionalism and friendly demeanor, making what could have been a stressful situation feel effortless and reassuring. Joe was incredibly thorough in his work, taking the time to carefully assess and diagnose the issue. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing the best service possible. His attention to detail was truly impressive, and he made sure everything was checked over meticulously before giving his recommendations. What really set Joe apart was his ability to explain everything he found clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He never rushed through the details or overwhelmed me with technical jargon; instead, he patiently walked me through his findings and the steps needed to resolve the issue. It made me feel confident and informed about the situation, which I really appreciated. Joe’s combination of friendliness, thoroughness, and clear communication truly makes him a standout technician. If you’re looking for someone who is not only skilled but also goes above and beyond to ensure an excellent customer experience, I highly recommend Joe Annello. He represents Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing in the best possible way and is someone you’d want working on your home!

5

A water heater breaking & unique older home piping/water pressure situation made what should have been a routine water heater replacement a bit more complex, and Ron, Ryan & Kacey were great in helping us get this quoted and serviced in the same day. I appreciate how communicative Ron was and how flexible Ryan was with our crazy schedules!

5

Chris Sotelo, Alejandro, Eddie and Westin were amazing today. They came to install a new A/C Heater unit and did a great work. They were knowledgeable, careful handling the equipment and did everything in a timely way. Thank you to this crew team!
