Whole-home surge protection in Sanford, FL
Sanford has the oldest housing stock we regularly work in, and plenty of it was never grounded. On those homes, surge protection starts with the ground.
A quality Type 2 device at the panel is the low end. Layered protection — panel plus point-of-use at AC, well pump, and electronics — is the upper end.
Four things that are only true in Sanford.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
Grounding before anything else
Post-war bungalows here often have 60 amp services and no grounding. A suppressor needs a sound ground to work, so we correct grounding and bonding first, and that correction is inspected work.
Knob-and-tube still turns up
The historic district still has knob-and-tube in some homes. If the wiring or service needs replacing, a surge protector is required on a new or replaced service, so it is efficient to plan them together.
Dock and lift circuits
Lakefront and riverfront properties carry dock and boat lift circuits. Layered protection that reaches those circuits sits at the upper end of the range.
FPL, city or county
Sanford is on FPL rather than Duke or OUC, which is a different utility process for service work. Permits go to the City of Sanford Building Division or Seminole County outside city limits.
Real numbers before you call.
Same ranges we publish everywhere, because the work does not cost more just because of the zip code. You get an exact number at the free estimate.
How it goes
Grant handles Sanford and north Seminole. You will have a name and a text before anyone is at your door.
Real reviews, word for word.
"Grant wired our new kitchen project. We have used him two other times and plan on using him with our next project."
"…In Phaze sent 3 people for the job, which they completed in 1 day, even vacuuming up afterwards."
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
Straight answers.
Do power strips not already do this?
No. A strip clamps small transients at one outlet. A service-entrance surge comes in on the feeders and reaches everything at once.
How long do they last?
They wear out absorbing hits. Good devices show status with an indicator; we tell you what to look for and check it on any future visit.
Does it stop a direct strike?
Nothing stops a direct strike to the structure. This handles the far more common case — nearby strikes and utility switching surges.
Will it protect my AC?
A panel device helps. For the compressor and control board specifically, a dedicated device at the condenser is the better answer.
Is grounding part of this?
It is the part that matters most, and it is the part most often wrong. We verify and correct grounding before installing anything.
Any insurance benefit?
Some carriers give credit. Worth a call to your agent with the model number we install.
