Do whole-house surge protectors protect against lightning?

While they handle large spikes from nearby strikes and grid switching, no device can guarantee 100% protection against a direct lightning strike. However, they are your best line of defense for the 99% of surges that occur.

How long do whole-home surge protectors last?

Most high-quality units last about 5 to 10 years , but their lifespan depends on how many surges they’ve diverted. We recommend a safety check during your annual electrical inspection.

Can a power surge damage a smart fridge?

Yes . Modern appliances like smart fridges, ovens, and washers have delicate circuit boards that are highly sensitive to even small, repeated voltage fluctuations.

What are the signs of a power surge in your home?

Keep an eye out for tripped breakers, flickering lights, reset clocks on microwaves , or a faint burning smell near outlets—which should be treated as an emergency.

Do you offer flexible financing for safety upgrades?

Absolutely. We aim to make safety accessible for everyone, including those on fixed incomes. Please ask our office team about our current payment and financing options during your initial call.

What is the Neighborly Done Right Promise®?

As a Neighborly company, we stand behind our work. If your service wasn't done right, we promise to make it right , giving you extra confidence in our craftsmanship.

Will I have to wait days for an appointment?

Not usually . We typically provide same-day or next-morning scheduling because we know that electrical peace of mind shouldn't have to wait.

Can I request a specific electrician?

Sure! Many of our customers have a “go-to guy” like Josh or Raul and request them by name for every visit to maintain consistency and trust.
