A power surge is a sudden, momentary increase in electrical voltage. It exceeds the normal, expected flow of electricity. This brief spike in power can damage or destroy your appliances and electronics.
What causes a power surge? These can include lightning strikes, power outages, faulty wiring, and internal events like a large appliance turning on or off. This is the reason surge protection in Ballston Lake, NY, is so important.
Here at Suburban Services Group, we provide comprehensive surge protector services for your entire home to safeguard your electronics and appliances.

Your expensive items, like your home office equipment, HVAC system, and major appliances, are vulnerable to destructive power surges. Without these items, daily life can be difficult. They’re also expensive to replace.
A whole-home protector provides comprehensive safeguarding for everything you connect to your electrical system. Furthermore, a surge protector is your first line of defense for an electrical system. It protects your wiring, outlets, and electric panel.
Electrical surges can cause sparks and damage wiring, which increases the risk of dangerous electrical fires. A surge protector helps mitigate these hazards, keeping your family and home safer. By absorbing and diverting damaging voltage spikes, a surge protector will reduce wear and tear on your devices and appliances, helping them last longer.
Best of all, knowing your electronics and home’s infrastructure are safe will bring you peace of mind. While there’s an initial investment with a whole-house surge protector, it can save you substantial money on future repairs and replacements of damaged appliances and electronics.
We begin the installation process by inspecting your home’s electrical panel and grounding system. This helps us determine the right protection for your specific needs. We’ll have to turn your power off on installation day for safety reasons before we begin the wiring work.
We mount the surge protector securely near the electrical panel and make all the necessary wiring connections. This includes the hot wires, a ground wire, and a neutral wire. Before finishing up, we turn the main power back on and test your new whole-home surge protector. We test it to verify that the indicator lights show that it’s working and functioning correctly.
