Every time the grid switches, a transformer fails or power comes back after an outage, a surge rides into your Los Altos home's wiring. Plug-in strips only protect what is plugged into them. Phasethree Electric installs whole house surge protection at the panel to protect HVAC systems, refrigerators, EV chargers, solar inverters and everything else in Los Altos and Santa Clara County.

How whole house surge protection works

A Type 2 surge protective device mounts at or in your main panel and diverts excess voltage to ground before it reaches branch circuits. We pair it with point-of-use protection for sensitive electronics for layered coverage.

What it protects

Heat pumps, air conditioners, induction ranges, washers and dryers with control boards, garage door openers, home offices, security systems and EV chargers all contain electronics that surges quietly destroy.

Installation in Los Altos

Surge Protection Los Altos – FAQ

Do I still need power strips with whole house surge protection?

Layered protection is best: the panel unit handles large surges and a quality point-of-use strip handles the rest.

How long does a surge protector last?

Most units last several years; many have indicator lights and we can replace them when they have absorbed their rated energy.

Is whole house surge protection required by code?

Newer code editions require it on new or replaced services. Many Los Altos homeowners add it to existing panels proactively.
