Most homes spend more on plug-in strips over a decade than a single whole-house surge protector.

Most homes in Brush, CO spend more on plug-in surge strips over a decade than they would on a single whole-house surge protector that does the actual work. The math isn't subtle.

A whole-house surge protector intercepts large voltage spikes before they enter the home's branch circuits. Together with quality plug-in protectors at sensitive devices, it provides layered defense.

1st Choice Electrical Services installs these properly across Brush, and we'll explain the math out loud before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a whole-house surge protector stop all damage?
No surge device protects against a direct lightning strike to the home itself. It significantly reduces damage and handles common indirect surges almost completely. Layer with quality plug-in strips for best results.
How long does a surge protector last?
Quality units last 5 to 10 years in typical Brush, CO conditions. The indicator light signals when replacement is due.
Is the install something I can do myself?
No. The device installs at the main panel where fault currents are unlimited. Manufacturer warranties and insurers in Brush typically require licensed installation.
Does this affect my homeowners insurance?
Often, yes. Many insurers offer rate considerations for properly installed surge protection in Brush, CO and better coverage with documentation.
What happens during a direct lightning strike?
A direct strike exceeds any residential surge protector rating. The device will likely sacrifice itself but significantly reduce damage to downstream equipment.
