Why one job costs more than another.
These are the main variables that push your specific project toward the low or high end of the range.
Surge Protective Devices are rated by how many kiloamps (kA) they can absorb. Basic models handle 50kA; premium models handle 80–100kA+. Kansas City's frequent thunderstorms and lightning activity make higher-rated SPDs a smart investment.
SPDs must be compatible with your panel brand. Square D, Eaton, and Siemens each make SPDs designed for their panels. We match the right SPD to your existing panel — no adapters or workarounds.
Panel-mounted SPDs install directly in your breaker panel (most common). Meter-socket SPDs install at the meter base for first-point-of-entry protection — better surge capture but requires Evergy coordination for meter access.
A panel-mounted SPD protects against surges entering through utility lines. For complete protection, adding point-of-use SPDs at sensitive equipment (home theater, computer, medical devices) creates layered defense — catching surges the panel SPD may not fully attenuate.
Kansas City averages 50+ thunderstorm days per year. Lightning-induced surges and utility switching events damage electronics, HVAC control boards, and appliances. A whole-home SPD typically costs less than replacing a single HVAC control board.
