Surge Protection in Miami, FL

Whole-home surge protection built for South Florida storms.

Overview

Surge Protection — code-compliant and built to last.

Miami's lightning density is among the highest in the country. A single storm can wipe out unprotected AC units, TVs and networking gear. We install Type-2 panel SPDs from Eaton, Siemens and Square D — often at the same time as a panel upgrade.

1. Service Amperage & Load DemandsSizing from standard 100A/150A to 200A or heavy 400A continuous service determines conductor sizing and switchgear requirements.

2. Run Length & Copper GaugeDistance from main distribution panel to equipment, requiring heavy-gauge THHN copper conductors and conduit sizing.

3. Wall Construction & AccessibilityConcrete block structure (CBS) core drilling, exterior weatherhead penetrations, or attic wire fishing.

4. Municipal Permit Fees & FPL CoordinationCity building department plan review fees, FPL utility meter disconnect/reconnect fees, and final inspection scheduling.

Client Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Surge Protection

Is one whole-home surge device enough?+

It handles the majority of surges. We recommend layered protection — panel SPD plus point-of-use outlets on sensitive electronics.

Will it protect against a direct lightning strike?+

No SPD can absorb a direct strike; it dramatically reduces the more common induced and utility-side surges that damage Miami electronics.
