Power surges can enter a home through utility lines and damage sensitive electronics, appliances, and other connected equipment. Consumer Services Electric evaluates your electrical system and installs whole-home surge protective devices at the service panel when appropriate.
A surge protective device is one part of a layered protection plan. The right solution depends on your panel, grounding and bonding, utility service, and the equipment you want to protect.
Surge Protection for Homes Across Metro Detroit
Panel-mounted protection selected for your home’s electrical service and equipment.
Our electricians review the service panel and existing protective equipment, then recommend a compatible surge protective device and installation location. Work is completed to the applicable electrical requirements and the device manufacturer’s instructions.
Whole-home protection can help limit transient overvoltage reaching connected circuits, but no device can prevent every surge or guarantee that equipment will not be damaged. Point-of-use protection may still be useful for sensitive electronics.

Plan Surge Protection Around Your Home’s Electrical System
A practical assessment of the electrical system—not a one-size-fits-all device.
Surge protection should be considered alongside a properly maintained panel, grounding electrode system, and bonding connections. Damaged, loose, or outdated electrical equipment can affect how protective devices perform and should be evaluated by a licensed electrician.
If your home has experienced a significant surge, has an older panel, or you are planning an electrical upgrade, an inspection can help identify appropriate next steps.
Service Standards & Guarantees
- Discuss recent outages, lightning events, or equipment damage
- Check the panel and existing surge device for visible condition indicators
- Evaluate grounding and bonding as part of the overall system
- Review related panel upgrades or electrical repairs if needed
