One nearby lightning strike can fry your HVAC, fridge, and TVs — in a millisecond.
Most Frisco-area homes built before 2021 have no whole-home surge protection at the panel. A surge doesn't have to hit your house — one two miles away can travel through the grid straight into everything you own.
$999 installed, tax included — Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA whole-home surge protector

How a surge gets in — and what whole-home protection stops
Lightning and grid switching send a voltage spike down the power lines. It enters through your main electrical panel and spreads to every circuit in the house. A plug-in power strip only protects what's plugged into that one strip — and most big losses aren't plugged into strips at all.
At the panel, not the outlet
The Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA is a Type 2 surge protective device wired at your main panel, where it diverts excess voltage before it reaches your circuits.
Protects the expensive stuff
HVAC control boards, refrigerator, washer/dryer, TVs, computers, garage doors, smart devices — the hard-wired and plugged-in equipment a surge actually kills.
Always on, zero maintenance
No batteries, no resetting after every storm, nothing to plug in. Indicator lights show it's working; you check them at a glance.

How the install works
From booking to protected in about a day.
Book in 2 minutes
Answer a few questions, pick a time window. We text you within minutes to lock in the exact slot.
We install — 30 to 60 minutes
A licensed electrician mounts the Eaton unit at your main panel and wires it in. Clear about 3 feet in front of the panel; secure pets; an adult 18+ needs to be home.
Power off briefly, then you're covered
Power is off for roughly 30–60 minutes during the install. When it's back on, every circuit in the house is protected — 24/7, with nothing to maintain.
Warranty facts — stated plainly
The Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA carries Eaton's limited lifetime warranty. Here is what that actually means, including the limits:
- Limited lifetime against defects in the device itself.
- Up to $75,000 in connected-equipment coverage for equipment damaged by a surge the device was rated to stop.
- Coverage is secondary to your homeowner's insurance — Eaton's claim process runs after / alongside your policy, it doesn't replace it.
- Connected-equipment claims have a 30-day claim window from the event.
What the Eaton warranty does NOT cover: it does not cover labor costs, it does not cover a device that has been spent (used up) stopping surges, and it does not cover direct lightning strikes to the home. No surge device can guarantee protection against a direct strike. We'll walk you through the exact Eaton terms at install so there are no surprises.

Common questions
How much does it cost, exactly?
$999 installed — that includes the Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA device and installation by a licensed electrician, tax included. That's the whole price for a standard panel install; if your panel turns out to need other work, we'll tell you before anything is done and you can say no.
How long does the install take?
About 30–60 minutes of work at the panel. Book a 2-hour arrival window; the electrician won't necessarily arrive at the start of it.
Will my power be off?
Yes, briefly — roughly 30–60 minutes while the device is wired in. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed and they'll be fine, and save work on computers beforehand.
I'm a renter. Can I get this?
The device is installed on the home's electrical panel, so it needs the homeowner's OK. Start the check and choose "I'm a renter" — we'll send you a one-page summary you can forward to your landlord.
I already have power strips. Isn't that enough?
Power strips only protect what's plugged into that strip, and many are simple outlet expanders with little or no surge rating. Your HVAC, fridge, washer, and other hard-wired equipment can't plug into a strip at all. A panel-mounted device protects every circuit, including the hard-wired ones.
Will it fit my electrical panel?
Most panels have room for the 2-pole breaker connection the device needs. We check fit from a panel photo or at the start of the visit; if your panel can't take it, we don't install it and you don't pay for an install that didn't happen.
Does it protect against a direct lightning strike?
No device can honestly promise that. Whole-home surge protection stops the far more common surges that travel in through the grid — including strikes that hit nearby — which is how most electronics are actually lost.
Prefer we just call you?
Skip the chat. Leave your name, phone, and ZIP and we'll text you to set up a time. Or start the 2-minute check instead.
The next storm won't wait. Neither should your panel.
