You gain a powerful defense that works around the clock, giving you confidence in your home’s electrical safety and the longevity of your valuable electronics. You can experience these benefits right away.

  • Complete Electronic Device Safety: This system protects every single device plugged into an outlet, from your high-end entertainment center to the charger for your phone.
  • Protection for Your Home’s “Hidden” Systems: It guards the complex circuit boards in your HVAC system, smart thermostats, and modern appliances that are expensive to repair or replace.
  • A Financial Safety Net: The one-time cost of a whole-house surge protector is a small fraction of what you would spend replacing just a few of your valuable electronics after a power surge.
  • Added Layer of Electrical Fire Prevention: A powerful voltage spike can cause the wiring to overheat, potentially leading to a short circuit or an electrical fire. Diverting that surge helps reduce this serious risk.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Michael did a great job installing a whole house filter. Took time to answer all our questions and was very patient with explaining the installation process and the operation of the water flow with the new filter. Very pleased with experience and will definitely use again.

Greg B.

Scott and Derek did an amazing job replacing our light-fan combos for two bathrooms that were 32 years old. They were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. We highly recommend Hickey!

Laurie C.

Danny spoke with me on the phone to guide me in attempting to fix the issue myself, and when I was unable to do so he promptly came out to diagnose the issue and get our HVAC back up and running after replacing a bad breaker. He was professional and kind to my kids who were running around the whole time.

Matthew T.

Clint and his crew were very knowledgeable and gave swift service. He has proved himself a kind and compassionate businessman - we felt like more than just a dollar figure to him. He explained the ins and outs of the Generator system we had installed as well as things that the competitors would not.
Highly recommended!
Thanks

Mike from Hickey Plumbing etc. Was outstanding. We are located a little remotely in Nelson and I have not had the best of luck with finding good trustworthy trades people to service our home. Very glad to have found someone I'm satisfied with. I'll be getting the annual service agreement he mentioned. No sales pressure. He just mentioned it. No nonsense, fair price and our hot water heater is working just fine. He was the third guy to look at it and no one before him mentioned the thermostats being the problem. The others just wanted to sell me stuff I didn't need. Thank you Mike and Hickey Plumbling, Air and Electrical. I'll be a repeat customer for sure.

Have Questions About Your Home’s Electricity? Check Out Our FAQs

We believe in clear communication and straightforward answers and are happy to help answer everything you bring our way.

When you call an electrician, you want clarity. We listen to you and then diagnose your issues. We look for the root cause of a problem, not just the symptom. You may see flickering lights, but our job is to find out if it’s a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or something else entirely. We believe in providing you with options and upfront pricing. Before any work begins, you will have a clear idea of the scope and the cost, which will be reflected on your final invoice.

Yes, it’s a good idea. Think of it as a two-layer defense. The whole-house unit is your primary shield against large external surges. The power strips at your desk or entertainment center can help manage any smaller internal surges and provide an extra buffer for your most sensitive equipment.

This is a job strictly for a qualified electrician. The device must be professionally connected directly to your home’s main circuit breaker panel. This involves working with high-voltage main power lines that come into your home and requires a deep understanding of electrical wiring and safety codes.

These devices have a finite capacity to absorb power surges. Most have an indicator light that shows they are functioning correctly. Their lifespan can be several years under normal conditions. However, a single major event, like a severe lightning strike, could sacrifice the device to protect your home, requiring its replacement.

Absolutely. Take a moment and mentally add up the cost of every electronic item in your home. Your television, computers, smartphones, tablets, kitchen appliances, and smart home gadgets easily represent thousands of dollars. A whole-house surge protector is a modest investment that protects all your assets. It is a powerful, reliable safeguard for your modern lifestyle.
