What your neighbors are saying about us

Patrick was very professional! I cannot recommend him highly enough, and whatever company he is working for. I very much liked their maintenance plan. He explained it very well and we purchased it. I highly recommend this plan, this company and this technician.

We absolutely love Hunters for all our electrical needs. We had originally called them out bc someone redoing our floors had burned up an outlet. Christopher was very knowledgeable and polite. He explained all recommendations that he had in a way that I understood. They are the only company I will use for all our electrical needs and upgrades.

I am very pleased with the service I've received from Hunter Service Group. Stacy was kind, respectful of my home, and professional. The install was performed in a timely fashion and I couldn't be more pleased. I will use Hunter Services for any future needs that I have within your scope! Thank you!

I highly recommend Hunter Service Group. We have recently worked with Noe Garcia and Tony Ruiz to help my in-laws find the right home generator for them to add some peace of mind if the power goes out. Installation should take place in the next few weeks. It has been a great experience so far.

How Whole House Surge Protectors Keep Your Home Safe

A whole house surge protector is installed directly at your electrical panel, where it intercepts voltage spikes before they can travel through your home’s wiring and reach your devices. When a surge occurs, whether from a lightning strike nearby, a utility issue, or even a large appliance cycling on inside your home, the surge protector absorbs or redirects the excess voltage so it never makes it to your outlets.

This panel-level protection covers every circuit in your home at once, including hardwired appliances like your HVAC system, refrigerator, washer and dryer, and any electronics plugged into your walls. It works quietly in the background and requires no action from you when a surge happens.

Signs Your Home Is Vulnerable to Power Surges

Many San Antonio homeowners don’t realize how exposed their home is until damage has already been done. If any of the following apply to your situation, whole house surge protection is worth serious consideration:

Your home has experienced flickering lights or unexplained appliance resets during storms.
You live in an area that sees frequent lightning activity, which is common across the San Antonio region.
You have a smart home setup, home office equipment, or high-value electronics you rely on daily.
Your HVAC system, refrigerator, or other major appliances have had unexplained failures.
Your home is older and hasn’t had any electrical upgrades or surge protection installed.
You’ve had the power go out and come back on, which can itself cause a damaging surge.

Whole House vs. Outlet-Level Surge Protection

Power strips with surge protection are better than nothing, but they only cover the devices plugged directly into them and offer limited protection against large surges. A whole house surge protector works at the panel level, which means it addresses the full scope of your home’s electrical system before a surge ever reaches an individual outlet.

The two approaches actually work well together. Panel-level protection handles the bulk of a surge’s energy, while outlet-level protectors on sensitive electronics like computers and televisions provide a second layer of defense for your most valuable devices. Hunter Service Group can help you understand the right combination for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does whole house surge protector installation cost?

Costs vary depending on your panel type and the specific unit installed. Hunter Service Group provides flat-rate, upfront pricing before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.

Can a whole house surge protector protect against a direct lightning strike?

A whole house surge protector significantly reduces the risk of damage from nearby lightning strikes and the surges that travel through utility lines as a result. A direct strike to your home is an extreme event that can overwhelm any protection, but panel-level protection still provides meaningful defense in the vast majority of storm situations San Antonio homeowners face.

How long does installation take?

In most cases, whole house surge protector installation is completed in under two hours. The timeline can vary slightly depending on the condition and configuration of your electrical panel.

Do I still need power strips with surge protection if I have whole house protection?

Whole house protection handles the heavy lifting, but pairing it with outlet-level surge protectors on sensitive devices like computers, televisions, and home theater equipment gives you an added layer of defense. We’re happy to advise you on the best approach for your specific setup.

How do I know if my surge protector has done its job after a storm?

Most whole house surge protection devices have an indicator light that shows whether the unit is still functioning properly. If the light changes or goes out after a storm event, it’s a sign the device absorbed a surge and should be inspected or replaced by a licensed electrician.
