Comprehensive Surge Protection Services in Roanoke, VA

Did you know a single lightning strike or power surge can destroy tens of thousands of dollars worth of sensitive electronics in seconds? Without a whole home surge protection system, your appliances and devices are at constant risk. But there’s good news — protecting your home doesn’t have to be complicated.

We’re proud to offer whole home surge protection in Roanoke and all of Southside VA. It’s important to safeguard your home’s electrical system against excess voltage, whether from lightning strikes, external power surges, or internal surges caused by faulty wiring or malfunctioning appliances.

Basic power strip surge protectors can’t protect appliances like your AC or water heater. A whole house surge protector, on the other hand, is installed directly into your main breaker panel, safeguarding your entire home. Our licensed electricians specialize in whole home surge protection installation in Roanoke and throughout Southside VA, so you know that every detail is handled with care and precision.

My experience with Davis Heating,Cooling, Plumbing and Electric was as good as it gets. We had no water, major leak in our yard so we just googled Davis mainly because they advertised 24 hour service. Great decision that was. James was awesome, really knew exactly what to do and really polite. Really good operator as well. Will definitely use Davis in the future.

Joshua was an incredible technician. Timely and incredibly knowledgeable. He was thorough, patient and answered all our questions regarding how our new thermostat works, the overall heating system and even checked an additional item associated with the unit under our house. He gave us a mini heat/cooling lesson that really helped us to understand how the system works, what had happened in our case and how to prepare for the coming cold months when we are here and traveling. Highly recommend Davis Heating/Cooling. And ask for Joshua if you can request a technician!!

James W was friendly and courteous. His assistant was very good. Everything is working great. I look at my new water lines and feel relaxed because there should be no more problems when the water is shutdown by the city. Every faucet/fixture has it's own cut off valve.

Matthew took the time to pinpoint the problem and to find a solution. Very professional technician. Follow up with Dakota to evaluate our options for our 30+ year old system was scheduled quickly and was very professional. A walk through was performed that detailed all the installation processes. Material availability was noted at the time as being a potential issue. Another project required a change to the work order and required an additional site vist. All this was handled by Dakota as well as creative solutions to material availability. Installation was well organized and the team was able to quickly pivot on a small filter issue. The four installation technicians, Cameron, Conner, Daniel, and Hunter were all courteous, professional, and respectful. The support team at Davis were quick to deliver supplies as modifications required. Everyone one on the install team worked together to get the job done. We could not be happier with the work and the professionals that are the Davis team.

Virginia Hoover

I was very pleased with my first plumbing service with Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electric. James did a thorough investigation of my issue, explained the problems and my options, was able to answer all my questions, and get the problem fixed on the same day. He even tolerated my thieving dog being curious about the field of plumbing… I look forward to working with him on future plumbing needs.

Ashley Hodges

Mark Kitts

Very pleased with the people. From the office to the technician that came out, a most pleasant experience. Everyone goes through every detail and nothing is overlooked. I’m a long time customer and these professionals earned my trust years ago. They go well beyond what is expected and know their business. In these times when most strive for “Good Enough “ The Davis team goes for “Excellence”. I highly recommend Davis and will continue to be a loyal customer.

K Spencer

Hello from NC - long and simple...from the young ladies running the day to day operations to Eric the AC technician, a new customer from out of state has been born. My AC unit went down and I knew from the prior owner "Davis Heating" was the installation team he used, so I called them for help. It all moved so smoothly I was a little shocked. I was informed multiple times as to Eric's ETA - that system works like a champ! Then Eric got himself into the condo to quickly assess the issue. 3 minutes of his time and a quick phone call and I was back in business. That my friends is an A+++ for customer service, honesty, integrity and just good old fashion business! Thanks for making me feel like a "VIP" - K Spencer

Why Whole-Home Surge Protection Is Essential in Roanoke & Southside VA

Power surges aren’t just a minor inconvenience; they can cause significant damage to your electrical system and result in costly repairs or replacements for your home’s electronics. Lightning strikes, power outages, and other electrical issues can send excess voltage through your electrical panel, leaving your home vulnerable. With a whole house surge protection system, you’re proactively defending your home from these risks.

Virginia’s unique weather patterns, including frequent thunderstorms, increase the likelihood of electrical surges. Investing in whole-house surge protectors provides comprehensive defense by diverting excess voltage away from your circuit breaker and sensitive devices. Protecting your home’s electrical system is the best way to preserve your family’s comfort and avoid interruptions to your daily life.

Davis proudly serves the Roanoke Valley and beyond, reaching homes and businesses in the Smith Mountain Lake area, Danville, and South Boston, VA.

How Whole-House Surge Protectors Work

Whole house surge protectors work by intercepting surges of electricity and diverting excess voltage away from your home’s electronics and appliances. They are installed directly into your main electrical panel, creating a barrier that absorbs and redirects dangerous spikes in voltage. This prevents damage to your sensitive electronics, such as computers, TVs, and gaming systems, as well as larger appliances like HVAC systems and water heaters.

Unlike a standard power strip, which only offers surge suppression for a few devices, whole home surge protectors cover your entire home. Whether it’s internal surges from malfunctioning appliances or external power surges caused by grid disruptions, these devices ensure your home’s electrical system operates smoothly and safely.

Benefits of Installing Whole-House Surge Protectors

Protection for Expensive Electronics: Safeguard your investments, including TVs, computers, and kitchen appliances, from damage due to power surges.
Reduced Risk of Electrical Fires: By redirecting excess voltage, surge protectors help minimize overheating in your electrical system.
Extended Appliance Lifespan: Appliances like your HVAC system, water heater, and refrigerator are shielded from damage, prolonging their functionality.
Comprehensive Coverage: Unlike power strips, whole house surge protectors defend your entire home.
Cost Savings on Repairs: Avoid the hefty costs associated with replacing critical electronics and addressing surge damage.

Types of Surge Protection Devices Available

When it comes to protecting your home from power surges, one solution rises above the rest: a whole-home surge protector.

Unlike other surge protection devices, which only offer partial coverage, a whole-house surge protector can handle the job of all other types combined.

Power Strip Surge Protectors: Ideal for localized protection, these can be used to shield your most critical electronics like computers or gaming consoles. While not as comprehensive as whole home surge protectors, they offer an additional layer of defense.
Point-of-Use Surge Protectors: Designed for individual appliances, these devices plug into an outlet and are used for high-value items like a water heater or HVAC system.
Surge Protective Outlets: These outlets combine standard functionality with surge suppression, offering built-in protection for appliances plugged directly into them.

By choosing a whole-house surge protection system, you eliminate the need for multiple individual devices and prepare your home to handle power surges of any size.
