Thunderstorms and Surges
Summer thunderstorms bring frequent lightning, and nearby strikes and utility switching send surges through houses. A whole-home device at the panel limits the damage to everything connected.
What Goes Into the Price of Surge Protection
There's no one-size price: it depends on device rating, the panel, and whether it's added with other work. Ask for a free estimate and get the price before work starts.
About Surge Protection
Does it stop direct lightning?
No device does; it reduces damage from the far more common surges.
Do I still need power strips?
Yes, for sensitive electronics.
Can it go in with a panel upgrade?
Yes.
Who issues the permit?
Electrical permits come from the City of Panama City or Bay County, depending on where the house is (beach and other cities run their own). The electrical contractor pulls it and the work is inspected.
