Whole house surge protection in Jersey City
We fit a surge protective device at the main panel on its own breaker, with the leads kept short so it reacts quickly. It diverts excess voltage to ground before it reaches your circuits. We check your grounding at the same visit, since a surge protector depends on it.
We also get calls from Jersey City for whole home surge protector, surge protector installation and panel surge protector. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

Much of Hudson County was built before 1960: colonials, capes, two-family houses and brick apartment buildings with plaster walls. For an electrician that usually means 60 or 100 amp service, a mix of old cloth-covered cable and newer wire, and panels that were never meant to carry central air, an induction range and a car charger at the same time. We see it every week around Jersey City and we plan the work around it.

Whole house surge protection in Jersey City: common questions
Will it stop a direct lightning strike?
Nothing fully stops a direct strike, but a panel device handles the far more common nearby strikes and grid surges.
Do I still need power strips?
For computers and home theater gear, a good strip adds a second layer.
How long does a surge protector last?
Years, but it wears a little with every surge. The indicator light shows when it needs replacing.
