Why Whole-House Surge Protection Is No Longer Optional in Georgia Homes
Did you know that the average home in Hall County or Forsyth County experiences 20+ power surges a day, most of which are completely invisible to the eye without surge protector installation?
Let that sink in… That’s 7,000+ little electrical attacks per year on your appliances, electronics, HVAC system, and even your refrigerator.
One lightning strike near your Gainesville home can fry thousands of dollars in electronics in a split second.
And no, your power strip won’t save you.
Surge damage costs American homeowners over $1 billion a year, and insurance companies are increasingly refusing to cover it. That means your wallet’s on the line—unless you’re protected.
Enter: Whole-House Surge Protection by The Flash Electric
We install code-compliant, high-quality Whole-House Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) directly
at your electrical panel, giving your home an invisible electric shield ⚡ that works 24/7 to keep
your systems safe.
Whether you live in Gainesville, Cumming, Chestatee, Coal Mountain, Oakwood, New Holland,
or Dawsonville, we’ll bring the supercharged protection right to your door.
What Does a Whole-House Surge Protector
Actually
Do?
Think of it like a pressure relief valve for your home’s electrical system. When a surge hits—
whether it’s from a lightning strike, a utility spike, or your neighbor’s hot tub kicking on—the
device clamps the excess voltage and diverts it safely to ground before it can destroy your gear.
What It Protects:
- TVs, gaming systems, & computers
- Smart thermostats & doorbells
- HVAC systems & refrigerators
- Washer & dryer electronics
- EV chargers and car batteries
- LED lighting, ceiling fans, and more!
The Real Cost of
Not
Installing One…
Let’s break it down:
| Appliance | Cost to Replace |
|---|---|
| HVAC System | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Refrigerator | $1,000 – $3,000 |
| Flat Screen TV | $500 – $2,000 |
| Computer | $700 – $2,500 |
| EV Charger | $800 – $1,500 |
| Modem/Router | $100 – $300 |
Multiply this by how often surges happen in storm-prone areas like Forsyth County and Hall County, and you’ve got a recipe for regret.
Local Georgia Homes at High Risk — Especially in These Areas:
Georgia is one of the top 10 states for lightning strikes and utility grid fluctuations. That makes Surge protection critical for homes in:
- Gainesville (McEver, Westside, New Holland)
- Cumming (Coal Mountain, Vickery, Polo Fields)
- Hall County (Oakwood, Gillsville, Flat Creek, Chestatee)
- Forsyth County (Midway, Silver City, Daves Creek)
- Dawsonville, Woodlake, Westgate and more.
If your home was built before 2020, odds are you don’t have a whole-house SPD, and your
electronics are sitting ducks.
