House Surge Protection Services in Salt Lake City & South Jordan

Today’s homes are filled with valuable electronics, smart devices, and sensitive appliances. A single power surge can damage them instantly—leading to costly replacements or even fire hazards. That’s why Jett Electric provides professional whole-house surge protection designed to keep your home safe from electrical spikes. Whether you’re searching for a trusted contract electrician in Salt Lake City, a reliable pro in South Jordan, or ongoing electrical maintenance services in Salt Lake City, we’ve got you covered.

What Is House Surge Protection?

Power surges occur when there’s a sudden spike in voltage flowing through your home’s wiring. While small surges may only shorten the lifespan of your electronics, larger ones—often caused by lightning strikes, faulty wiring, or utility issues—can instantly fry sensitive equipment.
House surge protection works by diverting excess energy safely away from your home’s electrical system, shielding your devices from damage. Unlike power strips or plug-in protectors, whole-home solutions defend every outlet and circuit at once.

Why Surge Protection Is Essential

  • Protect expensive electronics – TVs, gaming systems, and computers are especially vulnerable.
  • Safeguard appliances – Refrigerators, washers, and HVAC systems rely on stable power.
  • Prevent fire hazards – Surges can overheat wires and lead to dangerous situations.
  • Peace of mind – Avoid unexpected costs and disruptions from power-related damage.

Electrical House Wiring 101

Your electricity comes into your home from the outside, through a thick wire that enters your electrical panel. Inside your electrical panel, smaller wires run to power different circuits throughout your home. If you have ever tripped a circuit, you know you have to go down to the basement to open the box and flip the circuit breaker back on.

If you routinely trip circuits in your home when using a blow dryer, iron, vacuum or other appliance, you should have a Salt Lake City residential electrician to come in and see why. Your electrical panel may need updating.

How Does Whole-House Surge Protection Work?

A whole-house surge protector is a device that our electrical contractors hook up to your electrical panel. We install a new circuit breaker that connects to the surge protector, and the surge protector has a grounding wire through which it sends any extra unnecessary electricity. The surge protector monitors the level of electricity coming into your house and adjusts it safely.

However, over time, whole-house surge protectors become less effective. The whole-house surge protectors our electricians install in Salt Lake City homes come with green LED lights to show they are working. Once that light goes out, you will need a new whole-home surge protector. You can expect your whole-home surge protector to last five-10 years, depending on how hard it has to work.


Power Strips Are Not as Effective

The average power strip sold in big-box stores is nothing but an extension of your electrical outlet. For years, homeowners used extension cords, which are a fire hazard when used improperly. Power strips reduce that risk, but they offer no protection against power surges.

Some power strips do offer protection against surges, but this protection is much lower than the protection you get from a whole-home surge protector.

If you have computers, printers, scanners or sensitive and expensive stereo equipment, you will want a whole-house surge protector at your Salt Lake City home. A lightning strike is powerful enough to fry the appliances in your home as well, including the refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and anything else that’s plugged in. A whole-home surge protector can safeguard against this kind of damage, where an ordinary surge protector never could.

Depend on the electrical contractors at Jett Electric for whole-house surge protector installation.
