The surge that kills electronics almost never arrives as a lightning strike. It arrives when the utility restores power after an outage, or when a large motor in the neighborhood cycles. Snowmelt systems, heated driveways and hot tubs are common up here, and every one of them is a dedicated circuit before it is anything else.
Why Cottonwood Heights homes lose electronics to surges
Cottonwood Heights is largely 1960s-80s on the bench with newer estate building mixed in, and the bigger houses carry loads the original services were never designed for. That history shows up in the work.
A device at the panel is the only thing that stands between that transient and everything hardwired in the house: the furnace board, the heat pump, the range, the well pump, the garage door opener. None of those are on a power strip.
Snowmelt systems, heated driveways and hot tubs are common up here, and every one of them is a dedicated circuit before it is anything else. We install surge protection across Cottonwood Heights and Salt Lake County, usually in a single short appointment, and we verify the grounding electrode system while we are there.
What we do for Cottonwood Heights homeowners
Type 2 Panel-Mounted Devices
Installed at the service panel so everything downstream is covered, including the hardwired equipment a power strip cannot protect.
HVAC and Heat Pump Protection
Furnace boards, heat pump controls and AC condensers are among the most expensive things a surge takes out, and none of them are on a power strip.
Appliance Protection
Modern ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers and washers are all computers with a heating element attached.
Grounding and Bonding Check
A surge device is only as good as the ground it discharges into. We verify the grounding electrode system as part of the install.
Layered Protection
Panel-level protection plus point-of-use devices at your most sensitive equipment is the configuration that actually works.
Outage-Prone Addresses
Snowmelt systems, heated driveways and hot tubs are common up here, and every one of them is a dedicated circuit before it is anything else.

Common questions
Does whole-home surge protection actually work?
A Type 2 device at the panel clamps the voltage transients that come down the service conductors, which is the majority of what damages equipment. It is not a substitute for good grounding, and it does not replace point-of-use protection at your most sensitive electronics — it works alongside both.
Why does Cottonwood Heights need this?
Snowmelt systems, heated driveways and hot tubs are common up here, and every one of them is a dedicated circuit before it is anything else.
Will it protect my computer and TV?
It cuts what reaches them substantially. For expensive electronics we still recommend a point-of-use protector or a UPS in addition, so you have two stages rather than one.
How long does the install take?
Most installations are a single short appointment at your existing panel. If your grounding system needs correction first, we tell you before we schedule rather than after.
Is it covered by warranty?
Our workmanship carries a five-year warranty, and the device itself carries the manufacturer’s own coverage. We register it for you.
