What is a whole-home surge protector and how is it different from a power strip?

A whole-home surge protection device (SPD) is installed at your main electrical panel and protects every circuit in your home simultaneously — including your HVAC, refrigerator, washer, and dedicated appliance circuits. A power strip only protects devices plugged directly into it.

How much does whole-home surge protection cost in Venice FL?

Whole-home surge protection typically costs between $300–$500 installed, depending on your panel configuration. Installation usually takes 1–2 hours. Call Graham Electric at (941) 486-8190 for a free estimate.

Does Florida home insurance cover lightning damage?

Coverage varies by policy. Some Florida insurers offer discounts for documented surge protection. Having a panel-mounted SPD installed by a licensed electrician like Graham Electric provides a verifiable record for your insurer.

Don't Wait for the Next Strike

If you're in Venice, Nokomis, Sarasota, or anywhere in Southwest Florida, you've seen the summer storms. Florida averages more than a million lightning strikes per year — and Sarasota County is right in the middle of the state's most active lightning corridor.

A power strip surge protector doesn't protect your HVAC, refrigerator, washer, or dishwasher — those run on dedicated circuits. A whole-home surge protection device (SPD) installed at your main panel protects every circuit in your home simultaneously, including dedicated appliance circuits, your HVAC system, and your dock or pool equipment.
