What causes power surges in a home?

Power surges can be caused by lightning strikes, downed power lines, utility grid issues, or even large appliances cycling on and off. These sudden spikes in voltage can damage electronics and appliances. Whole-home surge protection shields your systems from these risks.

Is whole-home surge protection better than using power strips?

Yes, whole-home surge protectors defend your entire electrical system, not just individual devices plugged into a strip. Power strips offer limited protection and can’t stop larger surges at the panel level. Whole-home solutions provide more complete and durable defense.

Can a power surge damage my HVAC system or appliances?

Absolutely. A strong surge can fry circuit boards in air conditioners, refrigerators, washers, and even LED lighting. Installing surge protection is a smart investment to prevent expensive repairs or replacements.

How long does surge protector installation take?

Most installations take just a few hours. Our electricians connect the protector directly to your home’s main panel, ensuring immediate and comprehensive protection.

Does my home insurance cover surge damage?

Some homeowners insurance policies may cover limited surge-related damage, but claims can be costly and frustrating. Surge protection is a simple, affordable way to avoid needing a claim in the first place.

Will I need a new surge protector after a major power event?

Possibly. Surge protectors can wear down after repeated events or a single large surge. We recommend annual inspections to ensure your system is still providing full protection.

Do you offer surge protection for outdoor areas too?

Yes, we can extend protection to outdoor outlets, HVAC systems, and connected exterior equipment. Your entire home—inside and out—can be covered with the right setup.

Is financing available for surge protection installations?

Yes! We offer financing options that make it easier to invest in surge protection along with other electrical upgrades.

I can't recommend Aux Home Services and Preston enough. We had an older home with tricky wiring, and Preston took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions patiently, and did excellent, careful work installing our new light fixture. He clearly knew what he was doing and didn't cut any corners (exactly what you want when it comes to electrical work in an older house). Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. The monthly service plan was easy to sign up for (covers plumbing, electrical, and HVAC... perfect for an older home). If you need an electrician in the Birmingham area, ask for Preston. Also, dispatch team were great! Highly recommend!
