Yes — surge protection pairs perfectly with electrical panel upgrades, smart panel installs (ex. SPAN), EV charger installs, and service upgrades and meter work. Bundling often creates the cleanest install and best long-term reliability.
Absolutely. Mechollage offers financing through Lend Home Improvements (Momnt) and other approved lenders. Qualified homeowners can benefit from $0 down payment options, low monthly payments, and 0% interest promotional plans. All financing is handled securely and compliant with current consumer lending regulations.
Yes. If permitting is required for your specific setup, Mechollage handles the permitting and ensures the installation meets NEC (National Electrical Code) standards and local Virginia requirements.
Most whole-home surge protector installations take 1–2 hours once the system is inspected and a compatible device is selected. If additional electrical improvements are needed (like correcting grounding or making space in the panel), the timeline may increase — and we’ll walk you through it upfront.
In most cases, yes. We install surge protectors compatible with major panel brands and configurations. During your appointment, our team confirms panel type and available breaker space, grounding and bonding condition, proper placement for optimal performance, and code compliance requirements. If your panel is outdated or unsafe, we’ll explain options clearly before any work begins.
Yes — for sensitive electronics (TVs, computers, gaming PCs, home office equipment), plug-in surge protectors can add an extra layer of defense. Whole-home surge protection handles the big spikes at the panel, while point-of-use protection helps with smaller residual surges.
It significantly reduces surge risk across the entire electrical system, but no device can guarantee 100% protection against every possible event. That said, panel-mounted surge protection is the best first line of defense and is far more comprehensive than plug-in surge strips alone.
Surges can come from multiple sources, including: utility grid switching, power outages/restoration events, large appliances cycling on and off (HVAC, refrigerators, dryers), downed power lines or neighborhood electrical faults, and lightning (less common, but higher impact).
Whole-home surge protection is a device installed at your main electrical panel that helps protect your entire home from damaging voltage spikes. Unlike power strips, it safeguards all circuits — including hardwired equipment like HVAC systems, appliances, and lighting.
