Whole-Home Surge Protection Colorado Springs
Protect your appliances, electronics, EV charger, and HVAC system from power surges with a properly installed Type 2 surge protective device.
Protect Your Home From Unexpected Power Surges
A single power surge can destroy thousands of dollars of electronics in milliseconds. Modern homes are full of sensitive equipment — smart TVs, computers, EV chargers, smart appliances, HVAC control boards, security systems — none of which were designed to absorb voltage spikes.
A whole-home surge protector installs at your main panel and absorbs incoming surges before they reach anything plugged into your wall outlets.
It’s one of the highest-value upgrades you can make for the cost.
The Wire Wizards installs Type 2 surge protective devices at the service entrance, plus point-of-use protection for the most sensitive equipment in your home.
SURGE PROTECTION SOLUTIONS WE INSTALL
We provide complete surge protection solutions designed to protect your entire home and valuable equipment.
Type 2 Panel-Mounted SPDs
A panel-mounted Type 2 device is your first line of defense. Installed inside or directly adjacent to your main electrical panel, it absorbs surges from the utility side before they enter your home wiring. We use UL 1449 listed devices with diagnostic indicator lights so you know it’s working.
Point-of-Use Surge Protection
Not every surge comes from outside. Internal surges from large appliances cycling on and off — AC compressors, well pumps, refrigerators — can damage sensitive electronics on the same circuit. Layered point-of-use protection at TV walls, home offices, and gaming setups adds a second line of defense behind the panel-mounted device.
EV Charger Surge Protection
EV chargers are some of the most expensive single appliances in modern homes, and they’re especially vulnerable to lightning-induced surges through outdoor wiring. Dedicated surge protection at the charger or on the EV charging circuit protects both the charger and the vehicle electronics during a charging session.
Commercial Surge Protection
For commercial buildings, restaurants, and medical offices, equipment downtime is far more expensive than the cost of protection. We install Type 1 and Type 2 devices at service entrances, sub-panels, and sensitive equipment locations to keep operations running through storm season.
HIGH-ALTITUDE EXPOSURE
Colorado has one of the highest lightning-strike densities in the country. Your home is more exposed than you think
Even strikes that don’t hit your house directly can induce massive surges through nearby utility lines, fences, and underground cables. A whole-home surge protector is one of the cheapest insurance policies you can buy for your electronics.
Why Us
Why surge protection matters more in Colorado than most places
Colorado consistently ranks in the upper tier of states for cloud-to-ground lightning frequency, and the Front Range from Pueblo to Fort Collins sees especially heavy storm activity from late spring through early fall.
High-altitude air also makes surges propagate further through power lines than they would at sea level. Whole-home surge protection isn’t paranoia in this part of the country — it’s practical risk management for any home with modern electronics, an EV charger, or a smart appliance.
