Whole-Home Surge Protection

What is Whole-Home Surge Protection?

Whole-home surge protection is an advanced electrical safety system installed directly into your home’s main electrical panel. It works by detecting and diverting excess voltage away from your home’s wiring and appliances, preventing electrical damage from sudden power surges.

Unlike standard power strips with surge protection, whole-home surge protectors shield every outlet, appliance, and device in your home, providing comprehensive protection against internal and external surges.

Our Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation Process

At Mauzy, we provide a seamless, code-compliant surge protection installation to ensure your home is fully protected.

1. Home Electrical Assessment

Our licensed electricians inspect your electrical panel, wiring, and power consumption to determine the best surge protection solution for your home.

2. Selecting the Right Surge Protector

We install premium-grade surge protectors that meet National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, offering the best protection for your appliances and devices.

3. Professional Installation

The whole-home surge protector is hardwired directly into your main electrical panel, ensuring it protects every circuit in your home.

4. Testing & Verification

We test your surge protector to confirm proper function and peak performance before completing the installation.

5. Ongoing Maintenance & Support

Mauzy provides ongoing maintenance and inspections to keep your surge protection system working optimally.

Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation FAQ

  • Why Do You Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?

    Why Do You Need Whole-Home Surge Protection?

    Power surges can happen at any time, and without protection, they can lead to expensive repairs or replacements. Here are some key reasons to invest in a whole-home surge protector:

    ✅ Protects Expensive Electronics & Appliances

    Modern homes rely on sensitive electronic devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, computers, HVAC systems, and refrigerators. A single surge can destroy circuit boards and shorten their lifespan, costing thousands in replacements.

    ✅ Prevents Electrical Fires

    Power surges can overheat and damage wiring, leading to sparks and electrical fires. A whole-home surge protector blocks excess voltage, reducing the risk of fires caused by sudden power fluctuations.

    ✅ Shields Against Lightning Strikes

    Lightning is a leading cause of power surges. A single lightning strike can send thousands of volts through your home’s electrical system, destroying appliances and potentially causing hazardous electrical fires.

    ✅ Extends the Lifespan of Your Home’s Electrical System

    Frequent small power surges—caused by high-powered appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and microwaves—degrade your home’s wiring over time. Whole-home surge protection helps preserve your electrical system’s longevity.

    ✅ Saves You Money on Repairs & Replacements

    Power surges can cause irreversible damage to electrical panels, outlets, and home automation systems. Installing a whole-home surge protector prevents costly electrical repairs and appliance replacements.

  • Common Causes of Power Surges

    Common Causes of Power Surges

    Power surges can occur for various reasons, both inside and outside your home. Understanding the causes can help you recognize the importance of surge protection.

    ⚡ External Power Surges:

    • Lightning Strikes – Direct or nearby strikes can send thousands of volts through your wiring.
    • Utility Grid Issues – Power company fluctuations, transformer failures, and blackouts often result in surges.
    • Downed Power Lines – Electrical surges can travel through your home if a power line is damaged.

    ⚡ Internal Power Surges:

    • High-Powered Appliances – HVAC systems, refrigerators, and washing machines create voltage spikes when cycling on and off.
    • Faulty Wiring – Aging or damaged electrical wiring increases the risk of power surges.
    • Overloaded Circuits – Too many devices plugged into one circuit can cause fluctuations in voltage.

  • Commonly Asked Questions about Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation

    Commonly Asked Questions about Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation

    How much does whole-home surge protection installation cost?

    The cost of a professional whole-home surge protector installation varies based on your home’s electrical panel and the type of surge protection required. Mauzy offers upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

    Do power strips with surge protection provide the same protection?

    No. While surge-protected power strips can safeguard individual devices, they do not protect your entire home’s wiring, outlets, or appliances. Whole-home surge protection is the best long-term solution to prevent costly electrical damage.

    Can I install a whole-home surge protector myself?

    Whole-home surge protectors require hardwiring into your main electrical panel, which must be done by a licensed electrician. Attempting a DIY installation can be dangerous and may violate electrical codes.

    How long does a whole-home surge protector last?

    Most high-quality surge protectors last between 5 to 10 years, depending on usage and the frequency of power surges. We recommend periodic inspections to ensure your system remains effective.

    Will my whole-home surge protector work during a blackout?

    No. Surge protectors are designed to block excessive voltage surges, but they do not provide backup power. Pairing a whole-home surge protector with a standby generator is the best solution for complete protection.

    Is whole-home surge protection required by code?

    Yes! The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires surge protection for new or upgraded electrical panels. Installing a surge protector ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Here’s What Others Are Saying About Us

Carlos and Chandler were SUPERB installers! We got a very effective AC and Heating system for far less than I expected. We felt the difference right away as soon as we turned on the air conditioning unit. As important, Mauzy configured the system to optimize efficiency. I highly recommend you get a quote from this company if you’re in need of replacing your old equipment.

Update 2: my trust is restored. Had a little leakage in my box that connects to the fan and Luis went up in the attic and got it all sealed. Luis was very polite, professional, and genuinely happy. His positive attitude was very contagious and made my experience top notch. Also, I am happy to report that Mauzy stood behind their workmanship and covered all repairs under warranty. So so refreshing to have any company stand behind their workmanship. I have been with Mauzy since 2020 and will continue to be their customer. I would recommend Christian, Kylie, or Luis as your tech as well as recommend anyone out there to use Mauzy.Update: My trust is returning to Mauzy. Christian and Kylin came out to repair the repair and get my A/C up and running before the heat returns. Christian and Kyle were very professional, explain everything before proceeding, and let me know that the work would be covered under warrantyI have lost trust in Mauzy, Mauzy doesn’t stand behind their own work and what good is a warranty if you don’t stand behind it (This is a long one so sit tight). Where it all began: March 2020 I purchased a $23K A/C heating system from Mauzy. I was super happy with the install and I still love my system. I faithfully have used Mauzy service for my HVAC system every year since the install. I went with Mauzy bc they claim to stand behind their workmanship for the lifetime of the system (See Mauzy’s Attachment stating it also on their web page). Where the exchange box hooks up to the fan/heater a breach occurred between the box and the fan (service guy found it during my scheduled service in May 2024). It cost me approx $450.00 to have that breach fixed. Not sure why I had to pay if Mauzy offers a lifetime warranty on their workmanship, right? Matt Mauzy, feel free to explain this to me(see Mauzy’s warranty claim attached). I am open minded and perhaps my LA unified school education failed me. I got into it with one of Mauzy’s techs during the 2023 service for an issue with their workmanship. So to keep the peace, I didn’t argue with the charge in May and paid the $450 to have Mauzy repair their workmanship. Sunday 14 July, the repair Mauzy charged me for in May, didn’t hold up. I can’t use my heating or A/C bc it just dumps out in my attic. So Sunday I called the service line and the lady assured me there was no issue and scheduled a service call for the following Monday (15 July) no specified time. So this morning I made sure I was ready by 7am in case a technician showed up early. Around 9:15 I decided to call to see if I could get a better timeline from Mauzy only to find out that I don’t have an appointment yet. Come on Mauzy! why would your service desk make me believe I have an appointment when I don’t? Right? I would not have been so disgruntled if the service desk had told me someone would call me Monday morning to schedule. Matt Mauzy, you need to fix this. The soonest Mauzy can come out to fix their shoddy workmanship is sometime Thursday (maybe). I pray that this weeks heat wave is not too severe (this leads up to a whole other reason I need to get my A/C fixed). I will be thinking of you Matt Mauzy while you sit in your A/C house. Matt, Maybe you could come out from behind your desk and help your service department. I happen to be a tradesman and I have never left a customer in need hanging, especially if it was my fault. Just saying!Alex from Mauzy came out to conduct our annual service for our HVAC system. Good thing bc in of the seams in the unit had a hole and I was heating and cooling my attic. Super glad I have the inspection conducted every year. Alex was able to get the breach fixed and now the universe is rotating in harmony once again. BTW, I have been using Mauzy for the last 5 years (Mauzy also installed my HVAC) and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Mauzy truly does a good job and stands behind their work. Thank you Mauzy!

I am really happy with the customer service at Mauzy. Not only did they get me in promptly to replace my HVAC, they also beat the quotes of the other companies I contacted. Matt, Mario and Kenneth were really great explaining the process and getting the job done. They were respectful of my home and made sure my floors didn’t get dirty and cleaned up all the debris from the install. They made sure the unit was fully functional, testing temperatures and explain how to operate the system. I highly recommend Mauzy.

Kenneth and Mario are brothers! They were very respectful, happy and worked harder than I have ever seen anyone work. I had a pool delivered and on their break they offered to carry it to the backyard for me, and they helped get the last piece of the frame locked in as I was not strong enough to do it. They were so quiet I forgot they were in my attic. They were truly amazing! They cleaned up everything, it was like they were never here. I highly recommend Kenneth and Mario from Mauzy heating air and solar. Great job and thank you!!!

Michael at Mauzy worked very hard for two days to diagnose why our AC isn’t working. He had help from Jared the second day. A couple of burnt parts were replaced but it was determined an electrician was needed before they could complete their job. I did not meet Jared but Michael was professional, diligent, thorough and tidy and a pleasure to work with. I appreciated the detailed report afterwards. I am waiting for an updated invoice that details the discount I am due for signing up for their service plan. An electrician has been out and done his work. I’m waiting to hear about a follow up appointment to finish the AC issue. If I can get back to this review, I will update it when the service is complete. I’m new to Mauzy and so far am impressed.
