Why Surge Protection Isn’t Optional — It’s Essential

Modern homes are filled with sensitive electronics — from smart thermostats to home theaters to electric vehicle chargers. These devices are designed for 120V — not 10,000V spikes from lightning or grid surges.

The Hidden Risk

Most homeowners don’t realize that power surges happen daily — from appliances turning on, to utility grid adjustments, to distant lightning strikes. Each surge degrades your electronics. A major surge can fry them instantly. We’ve seen homes where the entire HVAC system was destroyed — not by a fire, but by a surge that traveled through the wiring. This is preventable with a $600 surge protector.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

Many home insurance providers now require proof of surge protection for homes with high-value electronics or smart systems. A claim denied due to lack of surge protection can leave you responsible for thousands in replacement costs. When selling, a home without surge protection may raise questions about overall maintenance — potentially lowering buyer confidence. We install industry-standard systems and provide documentation that proves you’ve protected your investment — giving you peace of mind and a stronger resale position.

A Client’s Story: The Storm That Took Everything

“After a lightning storm, our TV, sound system, smart thermostat, and HVAC control board were all dead. We thought it was bad luck. When we called Expertise Bolt-Duc, Michaël installed a whole-home surge protector and showed us how many homes lose electronics every year. We wish we’d done this sooner.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers from a licensed expert — no sales pitch.

A whole-home surge protector is installed at your main electrical panel and blocks massive voltage spikes — like those from lightning strikes or utility grid switching — before they enter your home’s wiring. It’s the first line of defense for all your electronics.
No. Power strips only protect against minor surges and have limited capacity. They’re useful for individual devices — but won’t stop a major surge from damaging your HVAC system, water heater, or smart panel. Whole-home protection is the only reliable solution.
Quebec experiences frequent thunderstorms, ice storms, and grid fluctuations — especially in rural areas like the Laurentides and Lanaudière. Lightning strikes can send 100,000+ volts through power lines. Without protection, your electronics are vulnerable.
Yes. Major surges can overheat wiring, melt insulation, and ignite fires. Surge protectors reduce this risk by diverting excess voltage safely to ground — before it damages your system.
Most last 5–10 years, depending on surge events. We install units with indicator lights so you know when it’s time to replace them. We recommend checking annually — especially after storms.
Yes. Solar inverters and battery systems are highly sensitive to surges. We install specialized surge protection designed for renewable energy systems — ensuring your investment is protected.
Absolutely. We install layered protection: whole-home at the panel, plus point-of-use protectors for sensitive electronics like TVs, computers, and audio systems — giving you complete coverage.
We install only CSA-certified, UL-listed surge protection devices from Eaton, Siemens, and Square D — the same brands used by utilities and professionals across Quebec.
Not yet — but it’s strongly recommended by the Electrical Safety Authority and required by many home insurance providers. We consider it essential — not optional.
Most whole-home systems cost between $400–$800, including installation. It’s a small investment compared to replacing a $3,000 HVAC system or $2,000 home theater. We provide a free assessment with a clear quote.

Don’t Risk Your Electronics — Or Your Peace of Mind

A single lightning strike can destroy hundreds of dollars in electronics. Surge protectors are inexpensive insurance — and the only way to truly protect your home from invisible electrical threats.
