Power surges are more common than most people realize—and the damage they can cause is fast and expensive. Whether it’s a lightning strike, a grid issue, or an internal fluctuation, surges can fry your appliances, ruin your electronics, and create serious electrical hazards. That’s why Hoffman Plumbing, Air, Heating & Electrical provides reliable, whole-home surge protection services for homeowners in Reno and the surrounding Northern Nevada region.
One strong surge can knock out your HVAC system, damage your refrigerator, destroy your computers, or wipe out entertainment systems. Surge protection is not just about convenience—it’s about avoiding thousands in losses and keeping your household running smoothly.
Most people think surge protection only matters during thunderstorms. In reality, many surges come from inside your home—caused by large appliances cycling on and off. Even small, repeated surges can weaken and shorten the life of your electronics. A whole-home surge protector stops those hits before they reach your devices.
Adding professional-grade surge protection reduces the risk of electrical fires and protects your property value. It’s also an appealing upgrade for buyers looking for safe, energy-efficient homes in Reno’s competitive housing market.

Whole-home surge protection is a system installed at your main electrical panel that safeguards all your home’s electrical devices from voltage spikes. It protects appliances, electronics, HVAC systems, and more from damage caused by lightning, power grid issues, or internal surges from large appliances cycling on and off.
Unlike power strips, which only protect the devices plugged into them, whole-home surge protectors defend your entire electrical system at the source. This means everything in your home—from your refrigerator to your thermostat—is shielded, even if it’s not plugged into a surge-protected strip.
Yes. Many electrical surges occur from everyday internal sources, such as HVAC units or refrigerators turning on and off. External events like lightning storms and power grid fluctuations also pose risks. Hoffman’s surge protection systems are designed to handle all these scenarios, protecting your investment year-round.
In most cases, our licensed electricians can complete the installation in under a few hours. The process is straightforward, and we’ll walk you through the system before we leave to ensure you understand how it works and what it covers.
While every policy is different, some insurance providers offer discounts for electrical safety upgrades like whole-home surge protection. At the very least, it can add value to your home and reduce the likelihood of claims due to electrical damage.
