Type 1 & Type 2 Protection • Defends Your Entire Home Against Utility Surges, Lightning & More
Click Here to Call (888) 355-9624Most homeowners in Dallas think the power strip behind the TV protects their electronics. It doesn't. Not against the surges that actually do damage.
The strips sold at consumer retail handle small voltage spikes — the routine ones that come and go without anyone noticing. The surges that destroy refrigerators, HVAC control boards, water heater electronics, smart thermostats, garage door openers, televisions, and gaming consoles aren't those. They originate from the utility line itself, from lightning-induced transients, and from large appliances cycling within the home — and they bypass surge strips entirely because most damageable equipment isn't plugged into one.
A whole-house surge protector lives at the service panel. It catches transients before they reach a single device. It protects everything the home contains, hardwired or plugged in. It costs less than replacing a single mid-range refrigerator.
Highlander Electrical Services installs whole-house surge protection across Dallas. The work is straightforward, the protection is comprehensive, and the math is uncomplicated.
Surge strips only protect plugged-in devices and deplete over time. Hardwired appliances like HVAC, refrigerators, and ovens remain unprotected.
Most damaging surges come from utility switching, restored power after outages, and large appliances — not just storms.
Whole-house surge protection is not standard. It must be specifically installed even in new construction.
Costs less than replacing one mid-grade refrigerator and pays for itself on the first significant surge event.

Check My GroundingA single surge can damage HVAC boards ($400–$1,500), refrigerators ($800–$2,500), smart devices, TVs, computers, and more. Whole-house protection prevents these costly failures and insurance claims.
"A storm took out our HVAC, refrigerator, and three televisions... Highlander installed a Type 1 unit afterward. Two storms have come through since, and we've had no equipment damage."
— Christopher Halverson, Dallas
"Highlander insisted on checking grounding, found a corroded ground clamp, repaired it, and then installed the protector. The difference was a properly grounded system."
— Rebecca Thornton, Dallas
