YOUR HOME HAS A LOT MORE TO PROTECT THAN YOUR TV
A lot of people hear “surge protector” and think about the power strip underneath their television or computer.
That’s part of the picture. But walk around a modern home and look at how many expensive systems now contain sensitive electronic controls.
Your HVAC system. Refrigerator. Washer and dryer. TVs. Computers. Smart-home equipment. Garage-door openers. Lighting controls. Kitchen appliances. Even EV charging equipment.
Some of that equipment isn’t plugged into a power strip at all.
That’s why we like whole-home surge protection. Instead of trying to protect individual devices one at a time, a whole-home surge protection device is installed at the electrical panel to help limit transient voltage surges before they travel farther through the home’s electrical system.
It’s a small device protecting a house full of expensive equipment.
That’s the real argument for spending $450.

Small Device. Big Difference.
A CLEAN INSTALLATION THAT FITS YOUR PANEL
Every electrical panel and every home is a little different. Before we install anything, we look at the type of panel you have, available breaker space, how the panel is mounted, and where it is located in the home.
Depending on those factors, we may use a compatible surge protector that installs inside the electrical panel, giving you a clean finished look with no additional equipment visible on the wall. In other situations, the best option may be a surge protection device mounted directly next to the panel.
Our goal isn't to force the same product into every home. We choose the appropriate equipment and installation method for your electrical system, then make the finished installation as safe, clean and unobtrusive as possible.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON INSTALLATION DAY
A straightforward whole-home surge protector installation in a healthy, accessible residential electrical panel typically takes about an hour. Before we install anything, we make sure the equipment and the homeowner’s electrical system are a good fit.
Five Simple Steps:
1. We Check Your Electrical Panel
We start by looking at the panel, available breaker space and overall condition of the electrical system. We also look for things such as multiple panels, solar, battery storage or generator equipment that could affect the installation.
If we see an existing electrical problem, we’ll point it out before moving forward.
2. We Choose the Right Location
The surge protector is installed directly at the electrical panel. We position it so the installation is clean, accessible and consistent with the manufacturer’s requirements.
3. We Safely Install and Connect It
We temporarily shut off power as needed, mount the surge protector and make the appropriate electrical connections inside the panel.
4. We Restore Power and Test It
Once installation is complete, we restore power and verify that the surge protector is operating normally. We also make sure the home’s major electrical systems have come back online as expected.
5. We Show You What to Look For
Before we leave, we show the homeowner the device’s status indicator and explain what it means. We also document the installation and provide the applicable manufacturer warranty information.
Most Standard Installations Take About an Hour
For a healthy, accessible residential panel, this is typically a straightforward installation.
Multiple electrical panels, no available breaker space, solar or battery equipment, exterior installations, grounding issues, existing panel problems or other unusual electrical conditions can require additional work.
If we find something that changes the standard $450 installation, we’ll explain it before doing additional work or incurring additional charges.
NEED ADDITIONAL PROTECTION?
Some homes have multiple electrical panels, solar, battery storage, generators or other electrical equipment that can affect the surge protection we recommend. We'll review the electrical system and explain any additional options before installation.
Ask About Premium Protection
WHY ISN’T A POWER STRIP ENOUGH?
Plug-in surge protectors can still make sense for particularly sensitive electronics. We aren’t telling homeowners to throw them away.
The limitation is that they only protect equipment connected to them.
You can’t plug your home’s HVAC system into a power strip. The same is true for many lighting systems, hardwired appliances and other equipment.
Whole-home surge protection adds protection at the electrical panel, while point-of-use protection can provide another layer for particularly sensitive electronics.
We don’t view those as competing products. They protect your home at different points.
WHAT DOES A WHOLE-HOME SURGE PROTECTOR ACTUALLY DO?
A surge protection device responds to transient overvoltage events and helps divert or limit excess voltage before it travels farther through the electrical system.
Whole Home Surge Protection FAQs
Common questions we hear from homeowners about protecting their electrical system, appliances, and electronics from damaging power surges.
- How much does whole-home surge protection cost in Atlanta?
Our standard whole-home surge protection installation is $450 installed for a typical compatible residential electrical panel.
- What is included in the $450 installation?
The standard installation includes an appropriate whole-home surge protection device selected for your electrical panel, standard installation materials, professional installation at the panel, restoration of power, verification that the device is operating normally, and an explanation of the device's status indicator and applicable manufacturer warranty information.
- Will a whole-home surge protector protect my HVAC system?
Because whole-home surge protection is installed at the electrical panel, it provides a layer of surge protection for hardwired equipment such as HVAC systems as well as other electrical equipment throughout the home. It cannot guarantee against every possible electrical or lightning-related event.
- Does a whole-home surge protector protect against lightning?
It can help limit transient overvoltage associated with lightning and other surge events, but no whole-home surge protector can guarantee protection against every lightning event or direct lightning strike.
- Do I still need surge-protecting power strips?
They can still be useful for particularly sensitive electronics. Whole-home and point-of-use surge protection can work together as different layers of protection.
- How do I know if my surge protector is working?
The surge protection devices we install include a status indicator that allows you to verify normal operation. Before we leave, we'll show you what to look for.
- Does a whole-home surge protector need to be replaced?
Surge protective devices do not necessarily last forever. The status indicator helps homeowners identify whether the device is operating normally. If the protection indicator changes or shows a fault, the device should be evaluated and may require replacement.
- Can you install whole-home surge protection on any electrical panel?
Many residential electrical panels can accommodate whole-home surge protection, but the right device and installation method depend on the panel and electrical system. We inspect the existing equipment first and select an appropriate compatible solution.
- Is whole-home surge protection required in Georgia?
Not for most single-family homes. While recent electrical codes include surge-protection provisions, Georgia's currently adopted electrical-code amendments include an exemption affecting one- and two-family dwellings. We recommend whole-home surge protection because of the additional protection it can provide for a modern home's electrical equipment, not because your home is out of compliance without it.
- What does the manufacturer equipment warranty cover?
Any downstream/connected-equipment coverage is provided and administered by the device manufacturer, not Fuse Crew Electrical, and is subject to the manufacturer's current eligibility requirements, limitations, exclusions and claims procedures. It is not an insurance policy and Fuse Crew Electrical does not guarantee payment for damaged equipment.
What We Won’t Tell You
A whole-home surge protector does not make your home “surge-proof.”
No legitimate electrical product gives us a reason to promise that nothing connected to your house can ever be damaged.
What we’re installing is another layer of protection between electrical surges and some of the most expensive equipment in your home.
POWER SURGES AREN’T JUST ABOUT LIGHTNING
Lightning gets the attention, but transient overvoltage events have many causes: severe weather, utility and grid events, power restoration after an outage, and even large electrical equipment cycling on and off inside or near the home. That's why whole-home surge protection isn't just something to think about during an Atlanta thunderstorm, your home's electrical equipment operates year-round, and so do the events that can affect it.
DOES MY HOME ALREADY HAVE WHOLE-HOME SURGE PROTECTION?
Some homes do. Some don’t. And homeowners don’t always know what they’re looking for when they look at their electrical panel.
Not sure whether your home already has whole-home surge protection? Send The Fuse Crew a clear photo of your electrical panel and we can help you identify what you're looking at.
A SMALL ELECTRICAL JOB SHOULDN’T REQUIRE A BIG SALES PITCH
We started offering whole-home surge protection because it makes sense for a lot of the homes we work in around Atlanta.
We’re regularly inside homes with thousands of dollars tied up in HVAC equipment alone, before you start counting kitchen appliances, televisions, computers, lighting controls and smart-home equipment.
For us, this doesn’t need to become a complicated sales presentation.
We select the surge protection device based on the homeowner's existing electrical panel, so the installation is the right fit for the system we're actually working on. We’ve set the standard installed price at $450.
If it makes sense for your home, we’ll install it. If you already have adequate surge protection, we’ll tell you that too.
Protect Your Home for $450
Your home’s electrical panel feeds a lot more than lights and outlets.
For $450 installed, The Fuse Crew can add a whole-home surge protector to help protect the electrical equipment you rely on every day.
