A power surge is a brief spike in voltage that can damage or shorten the life of anything plugged into your electrical system. Surges can come from outside the home, like lightning strikes, grid switching, or utility equipment issues, which are a real concern during Colorado's summer thunderstorm season. They can also come from inside the home, when large appliances like HVAC systems or refrigerators cycle on and off and create smaller, repeated voltage spikes.
A power surge can hit any device plugged into your home or business electrical system. The electronics below are the most common casualties when there's no surge protection in place.
TVs, computers, and home entertainment systems
Appliances with electronic control boards
HVAC systems and their control circuits
EV chargers and smart home devices
Home office equipment and networking gear
Business computers, servers, and point-of-sale systems

From assessing your panel to testing the finished installation, here's what to expect when you add whole-house or commercial surge protection.
We look at your electrical panel, home or business equipment, and any plans like an EV charger or panel upgrade, then recommend the right surge protection setup for your situation.
We mount the surge protective device at your electrical panel and wire it in to cover every circuit it feeds, keeping the work area tidy and explaining what we're doing along the way.
We test the installed device, confirm it’s working properly, and walk you through what it protects.
Answers to common questions about whole-house and commercial surge protection
Q1
A whole-house surge protector is installed at your electrical panel and is designed to divert excess voltage before it reaches the circuits it feeds. It works as the first line of defense for your home’s wiring and everything plugged into it
Q2
Yes, plug-in surge strips are still worth using for sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and audio equipment. A panel-mounted device handles larger surges coming into the home, while a good strip adds a second layer of protection closer to the device itself.
Q3
In most cases, yes. A surge protective device can usually be added to an existing panel without a full panel replacement, as long as there's room and the panel can accept it.
Q4
It's a smart addition any time you're upgrading your panel, since the new equipment, EV chargers, and appliances tied into a modern electrical system are often more sensitive to voltage spikes.
Q5
Yes, we install commercial surge protection for business owners who need to protect computers, point-of-sale systems, and other equipment that can't afford downtime from a damaging power spike.
Q6
The price depends on the type of device, the protection level you choose, and your panel. We can give you a clear price once we’ve seen your setup.
Whether you're upgrading your panel, adding an EV charger, or just want peace of mind during storm season, Revive Electric Co. can install whole-house or commercial surge protection for your property. Call us or request a quote to get started.
