Our Services

If you’re a homeowner in Ames, Iowa, and you’ve started Googling “whole house surge protector,” you probably want peace of mind without the jargon. A whole-house surge protector is a single unit installed at your main service panel that shunts excess voltage away from every outlet, appliance, and electronic in the house. Most installers charge a flat rate of $250-$400 for the device plus $150-$250 for labor, so you’ll know the total cost before anyone lifts a screwdriver. Scheduling is simple: you call, pick a day that fits your calendar, and the technician arrives on time to finish the job in a couple of hours. The job itself involves turning off the breaker, mounting the protector on the panel, and connecting a few wires—nothing fancy, just a solid, code-compliant installation. After the install, you’ll have a test button to verify it’s working, and you’ll get a brief walk-through of what to expect. If you’re ready to protect your home’s wiring and devices, give us a call at (888) 502-7574.

Prep that matters

Follow-through

After the unit is mounted, we test it with a surge simulator. We show you the readout and explain the results. We give you a brief guide on what to watch for. If anything seems off, we’ll revisit at no extra charge. You also get a warranty card and contact info. Call (888) 502-7574 if you need help or have questions.
