Living in Sarasota means plenty of sunshine, Gulf breezes, and warm weather. But it also means sudden thunderstorms, frequent lightning, and occasional power grid issues. These conditions can cause power surges that damage appliances, electronics, and even your home’s wiring. At Ace Electric, we install whole-house surge protection for Sarasota homeowners who want reliable defense against Florida’s unpredictable storms.
A whole-house surge protector is installed directly at your electrical panel. It blocks dangerous voltage spikes before they travel through your home’s wiring. Unlike power strips, which only protect the devices plugged into them, a whole-house surge protector safeguards your entire home. That means protection for major appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and washers, as well as HVAC systems, electronics such as TVs and computers, and even smart home technology.
Florida leads the nation in lightning strikes, and Sarasota is no exception. One bolt of lightning can send a surge powerful enough to damage every circuit in your home. Surges also occur when power companies switch grids or when large appliances cycle on and off. Without protection, homeowners risk costly repairs or replacements, shortened lifespan of HVAC systems and appliances, and potential safety hazards from overloaded wiring.
For Sarasota homes, a surge protector at the panel is one of the smartest investments you can make. It provides complete coverage for your home’s electrical system, reduces the risk of damage to electronics and appliances, and gives you peace of mind during storm season. Pairing it with quality plug-in surge protectors offers even greater defense.
Because whole-house surge protectors must be installed at the main electrical panel, this job should always be handled by a licensed electrician. At Ace Electric, we install systems designed specifically for Sarasota homes and ensure they meet all safety codes for reliable, long-term protection.
Don’t wait for the next storm to threaten your home. Contact Ace Electric today to schedule a whole-house surge protector installation and keep your appliances, electronics, and electrical system safe year-round.
