Whole-Home Surge Protection for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

Power surges are more common—and more damaging—than most homeowners realize. Whether it’s lightning, utility grid issues, or large appliances cycling on and off, even a small surge can quietly damage electronics and shorten the lifespan of your home’s most expensive systems.

Our team of professional electricians installs whole-home surge protectors for homes throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding metro. It’s a simple, cost-effective upgrade that adds a critical layer of defense for everything plugged in throughout your home.

Professional Surge Protection Installation—Done Right

At Northern Electrical, we install surge protection devices that meet the latest code standards and provide real protection—not just a false sense of security. Our licensed electricians will recommend the right unit for your panel, install it cleanly, and test everything for proper function.

What’s included:

  • Surge protector matched to your home’s panel and electrical load
  • Clean, professional installation at your main service panel
  • Code-compliant work and full system testing
  • Fast scheduling, clear pricing, and no upsells

Call (763) 335-6890 now or schedule your surge protection installation online.

Surge Protection That Meets the Latest Code—and Goes Beyond It

With updates to the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), surge protection is now required in many states when upgrading or replacing your electrical panel. Our Type 1 surge protection devices meet this standard—and go further by offering whole-home coverage and lifetime-backed protection against internal and external surges.

We install at the panel, protecting your entire electrical system before a surge ever reaches your outlets.

Can You Install One Yourself?

Surge protection installation is not a DIY project. It involves hardwiring into your main electrical panel, navigating local codes, and ensuring proper grounding. Our licensed electricians ensure every unit is installed safely, tested properly, and compliant with local inspection standards.

We strongly recommend professional installation for safety, performance, and code compliance.
