Common questions for Surge Protection and Grounding in Alamo Heights
Is surge protection worth it in Alamo Heights?
For most homes here, yes. Central Texas gets serious lightning, and a panel-level device is cheap next to a heat pump control board, a well pump controller, and the electronics in a modern house. At about 5 miles from downtown San Antonio, Alamo Heights schedules the same as an in-town call.
Why does grounding matter for surge protection in Alamo Heights?
A surge device only works as well as the grounding behind it, because it needs somewhere to send the energy. In older Alamo Heights homes the grounding is frequently one rod driven decades ago with no bonding to water or gas, so we check and correct it as part of the job.
Do you pull a permit for this in Alamo Heights?
A panel-level surge device and grounding corrections are typically permitted through the City of Alamo Heights. We pull what is required and tell you before anything changes.
