The Challenge

When Daniel of Sumterville, Florida, noticed frequent flickering lights and was concerned about the rising number of power surges in his area, he called In Charge Electric. Like many Central Florida homeowners, he wanted to protect his expensive home electronics, HVAC system, and appliances from the damaging effects of sudden power surges — especially during Florida’s lightning-prone storm season.

The Solution

Our licensed electricians, Randy and Jessie, installed an Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA Whole Home Surge Protector, a high-performance unit designed to stop harmful voltage spikes before they reach sensitive equipment. This device connects directly to the home’s electrical service panel and provides an added layer of defense for every outlet in the house.

To ensure a clean and professional appearance, the team also installed a flush mount kit, giving the surge protector a seamless look while maintaining full accessibility for future maintenance.

The Results

After installation, Daniel’s home was equipped with a surge protector carrying a $75,000 limited manufacturer warranty from Eaton, giving him peace of mind that his investment was protected. The system now shields his entire electrical network — from TVs and computers to major appliances — from everyday surges caused by storms and power fluctuations.

“It feels good knowing my home is protected and everything is up to code. The In Charge team was professional, quick, and explained everything clearly,” Daniel shared after the project was completed.

What Is Whole Home Surge Protection?

Whole home surge protection is a safety system installed at your main electrical panel to safeguard your entire home from damaging power surges. Unlike plug-in surge strips that only protect one outlet, this device protects every circuit and every device connected to your home’s electrical system.

Power surges can come from lightning strikes, power company switching, or even large appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators turning on and off. Without proper protection, these surges can shorten the lifespan of your electronics, damage appliances, or even cause costly electrical repairs.

Code Compliance and Safety

As of the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC 230.67), all new or replaced residential electrical panels are required to have a surge protective device installed. This makes surge protection not just a smart choice — it’s a code-compliant safety measure that protects both homeowners and property value.

Typical Cost Range

Most homeowners can expect to spend around $400–$800 for a professionally installed whole home surge protector. Costs vary depending on the home’s electrical setup, breaker configuration, and product selection. Eaton’s CHSPT2ULTRA model remains one of the most trusted and widely used options in the industry for its durability and high surge capacity.
