Whole house surge protector in Bakersfield
Pricing and availability updated for 2026
Whole house surge protector installation in Bakersfield helps protect the AC, appliances, and electronics from voltage spikes from lightning, utility switching, and large motors cycling. We install the device at your panel and check the grounding it depends on.
Plug-in power strips only protect what is plugged into them. A panel-mounted surge device protects every circuit in the house, including hardwired items like the AC, water heater controls, and garage door opener. Surge protection only works as well as the ground path behind it, so we check grounding and bonding during the same visit.

Whole home surge protection FAQ
Whole-home surge questions
Will a whole-home surge device protect everything?
No device stops every event, but a panel-mounted device greatly reduces the surge that reaches your circuits. Pair it with plug-in protection at computers and TVs.
How do I know it is still working?
Most devices have indicator lights. If the light changes or goes out, the device may have done its job and need replacing.
Do I need a panel upgrade first?
Usually not, as long as there is space and the panel is in good condition. If an upgrade is already planned, it makes sense to add it then.
Does lightning have to hit my house to cause damage?
No. A strike nearby, or utility switching, can send a surge through the lines into your home.
Can I install it myself?
It goes inside a live panel, so we do not recommend it. A licensed install also keeps the device warranty and your insurance in good standing.
