Surge Protection Systems
Florida is the lightning capital of North America. Protect accordingly.
A single nearby lightning strike or utility transient can wipe out an HVAC control board, a refrigerator inverter, an EV charger and every piece of consumer electronics in your house — all on the same afternoon. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel is the cheapest insurance policy in the electrical industry, and it's the one upgrade we recommend to literally every Florida homeowner.
Synergy installs hardwired Type 2 surge protective devices (SPDs) at your main panel, with optional Type 3 point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment — EV chargers, home theaters, server racks and medical devices.
Three disciplines under one trusted roof.
Whole-Home Type 2
Hardwired surge protective device installed alongside your main breaker — protecting every circuit in the house simultaneously.
Point-of-Use Type 3
Targeted SPDs at sensitive equipment — EV chargers, HVAC condensers, home theater racks, network equipment — for a layered defense.
Indicator Monitoring
Modern SPDs include LED status indicators or app monitoring — so you know the protection is still active after every storm.
One average claim pays for surge protection across the whole neighborhood.
The average homeowners insurance claim for lightning and surge damage exceeds the cost of whole-home surge protection by an order of magnitude. And many policies now require — or heavily discount — whole-home SPD installations.
Installed cheapest while the panel is already open.
If you're already scheduling a panel upgrade, EV charger or generator install, adding whole-home surge protection at the same time is significantly cheaper than calling us back later. We always quote it as a line item — your call to add it or skip it.
Panel + point-of-use is dramatically more effective than either alone.
A Type 2 device at the panel knocks down the bulk of a surge. A Type 3 at the equipment shaves the residual. The combination protects sensitive electronics far better than any single device — and that's exactly how we engineer every installation.
A predictable, four-step process.
Panel evaluation
We confirm panel capacity, breaker space and SPD compatibility — most modern panels accept Type 2 SPDs cleanly.
Install
Type 2 SPD hardwired into the main panel on a dedicated breaker, with short leads for fastest response time.
Point-of-use add-ons
Optional Type 3 devices at EV chargers, HVAC, AV racks and any equipment you want layered protection on.
Document & label
Panel labeled, install photographed, paperwork to forward to your insurance carrier if you want the discount.
