What's Included in Every Installation

  • UL 1449-listed Type 2 SPD, 80kA–120kA surge-current rating
  • Installation by a licensed Texas electrician (TECL #40628)
  • Grounding system verification — an SPD is only as good as your ground
  • Permit and inspection where required by your city
  • On units with a status light, a walkthrough of what it shows so you can tell protection is active

Why a Panel-Mounted Protector Instead of Power Strips

A plug-in strip protects only what is plugged into it. A panel-mounted SPD covers the hardwired loads a strip cannot reach, such as the HVAC system, appliances and an EV charger. The two work together: keep point-of-use protection on sensitive electronics, because a panel SPD limits a surge rather than eliminating it.

Frequently Asked Questions

$350–$850 installed for a standard 80–120kA panel-mounted SPD, including labor and grounding verification: about $350–$650 for a basic 80kA unit and $550–$850 for a 120kA unit with LED status. Premium 200kA+ units with EMI/RFI filtering run $900–$1,500 and are rarely needed in a typical home.

No surge protector can promise that. A panel SPD is built to limit the surges a house sees far more often, from nearby lightning, utility switching and large appliances cycling, and it depends on a sound grounding system, which is why we check the ground as part of the install.

An SPD wears a little each time it absorbs a surge, so there is no fixed lifespan. Units with a status light show whether protection is still active; when the light says it is not, the SPD needs replacing.

We don't recommend it: the device connects inside an energized panel. Texas law requires a licensed electrician for electrical work, with a narrow exemption for owners working on the home they live in where the city does not regulate that work, and many DFW cities require a permit for panel work regardless.
