Whole-House Surge Protection for Waco Properties
A large share of the rental housing around Baylor University runs on wiring and panels that predate today's appliance and device load, which is a routine source of service calls in that part of Waco. A single point-of-use surge strip only protects whatever's plugged into it — it does nothing for the HVAC system, water heater, or anything hardwired. A surge protective device installed at the panel covers the whole home from a single point.
Coverage extends across Waco, including Cameron Park and Downtown / Silo District, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Waco, including the Baylor area?
Coverage extends across Waco and into the surrounding McLennan County area — call to confirm for a specific address near the edge of the service area.
Do you handle commercial work in older downtown Waco buildings?
Yes — electrical work in older commercial buildings around downtown and the Silo District is a regular part of the work here.
Does tornado season affect response times in Waco?
Active severe weather can affect scheduling, but storm-related outages and surge damage are still treated as priority calls.
Do you work directly with landlords on rental housing near Baylor?
Yes — coordinating electrical repairs and upgrades with landlords and property managers on rental housing near the university is a routine part of the work.
Isn't a power strip surge protector enough?
A point-of-use strip only protects what's plugged into it — it doesn't cover the HVAC system, water heater, or anything hardwired. A whole-home device at the panel covers everything at once.
How much protection does a whole-home surge protector actually add?
It significantly reduces the risk of damage from grid-level spikes and nearby lightning strikes, though it can't fully eliminate risk from a direct strike — pairing it with point-of-use protection for the most sensitive equipment is common.
Does surge protection need to be paired with anything else?
It's often installed alongside a panel upgrade or generator hookup, since all three touch the same part of the panel, but it can also be added on its own.
