Whole house surge protection in Short Hills
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.

Whole house surge protection in Short Hills: 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.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Short Hills?
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.
