Whole house surge protection in Oakland
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 Oakland for whole home surge protector, panel surge protector and surge protector installation. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

Whole home surge protector near Franklin Lakes and Wanaque
Oakland is in Bergen County, and our crews are in the area most days. If you are just outside town, we also work in Franklin Lakes, Wanaque, Haskell and Pompton Lakes. Here we cover ZIP code 07436.
Older Bergen County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around Oakland we regularly open a box and find ungrounded two-wire cable, a fuse panel still feeding part of the house, or circuits added by three different owners. None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.

Whole house surge protection in Oakland: 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.
Are you open nights and weekends in Oakland?
Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Call (888) 633-7804.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Oakland?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
