Whole-Home Surge Protection for Cincinnati Spring Storms

Schedule Now

Every year, spring storms cause extensive damage in Cincinnati without home surge protection. Lightning strikes have the potential to send a surge of electricity through your home’s electrical system. Without proper protection and the right electrical services, surges have the ability to fry vulnerable appliances.

Whole-home surge protection installed by Apollo Home keeps your HVAC system and other appliances safe from spring storm electrical spikes. Learn the benefits of whole-home surge protection installation below.

Electrical Services for Whole-Home Surge Protection

From a spring storm or an in-home source, electrical surges cause damage to anything connected to your electrical system. Whole- home surge protection provides protection against electrical current spikes for your entire home. Think of it as similar to a surge protector you plug into the wall except it covers all your home’s outlets on a much larger scale.

Sudden electrical spikes occur during lightning strikes. A strong surge in electricity has the power to render expensive appliances like your heating and cooling systems dead. Additionally, the minor spikes which originate from your home’s own appliances when they kick on cause damage as well.

These can reduce the useful life of the appliances and electronics on the receiving end. Installation of whole-home surge protection using professional electrical services protects these valuable items.

Think, for a moment, about all the items you may have plugged in at any one time. Do you have a home office? How many members of your family have laptops, gaming systems, chargers or other electronics plugged in?

How Whole-Home Surge Protection Works

Apollo Home electrical services installs whole-home surge protection to cover your entire Cincinnati home.  The protection protects the following areas of your home’s electrical system:

  • Electrical services entrance
  • Main electrical panel
  • Distribution and subpanels
  • Wall outlets
  • Equipment plugged into wall outlets

Whole-home surge protection is installed with your circuit breaker panel. It delivers protection from electrical surges to each circuit in the home, as well as phone, cable, and data lines.

This comprehensive surge protection prevents damage to major appliances, smaller devices that are plugged in, and your home’s electrical system.

What to Do During a Spring Storm Without Surge Protection

If you do not have whole-home surge protection, use these tips to help stay safe during spring storms:

  • Do not use corded phones or plugged in electrical devices during a storm. Surge currents may travel through the electrical system, resulting in a shock to the user.
  • Unplug your electronic devices to protect them from damage in the event of a power surge.
  • Stay away from exterior walls, windows, and doors during a lightning storm. Keep all windows and doors shut.
  • Do not take a shower, bath or do the dishes during a storm. Water conducts electricity, remember. Electrical charges are able to travel through your plumbing system’s metal piping. This ultimately puts you at risk of shocks if you use water at this time.
  • Do not go outside for at least 30 minutes after you see the last lightning strike. By then the storm has passed and it is safe to go outdoors.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."
- Cassandra B.
"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."
- Randy B.
"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."
- Sarah B.
"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
