Whole-home surge protection in Orlando, FL
Orlando's older ring and its newer edges need surge protection for different reasons. In College Park the first job is usually the grounding; out in Lake Nona it is protecting what the house was built to run.
A quality Type 2 device at the panel is the low end. Layered protection — panel plus point-of-use at AC, well pump, and electronics — is the upper end.
Four things that are only true in Orlando.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
Grounding comes first in the older ring
College Park and Delaney Park bungalows often still run 60 to 100 amp services from another era. A suppressor only works with a sound ground and bond, so we verify that before anything goes on the panel and tell you if it needs correcting.
Panels worth a second look
Conway and Pine Hills ranches from the 1960s and 70s turn up Federal Pacific panels and aluminum branch wiring. We will tell you plainly if the panel itself is the bigger problem before mounting a device on it.
Newer homes, more to lose
Baldwin Park and Lake Nona houses carry EV chargers, pool equipment and a lot of electronics. A Type 2 device at the panel is the starting point, with point-of-use protection at the AC or pool equipment if you want the layered setup.
OUC, Duke, city or county
OUC serves the city core and Duke Energy the outlying areas. Permits go to City of Orlando Permitting Services inside city limits or Orange County Building Safety outside them, and our office files to whichever covers your address.
Real numbers before you call.
Same ranges we publish everywhere, because the work does not cost more just because of the zip code. You get an exact number at the free estimate.
How it goes
Grant and Victor cover most of the city core. You will have a name and a text before anyone is at your door.
Real reviews, word for word.
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
"Our old panel dated back to 1984 and was overdue for replacement. We worked directly with Keylin, who was outstanding from start to finish."
"…tried to over charge for work that was not even necessary. In Phaze offered an alternative option at a fraction of the cost."
Straight answers.
Do power strips not already do this?
No. A strip clamps small transients at one outlet. A service-entrance surge comes in on the feeders and reaches everything at once.
How long do they last?
They wear out absorbing hits. Good devices show status with an indicator; we tell you what to look for and check it on any future visit.
Does it stop a direct strike?
Nothing stops a direct strike to the structure. This handles the far more common case — nearby strikes and utility switching surges.
Will it protect my AC?
A panel device helps. For the compressor and control board specifically, a dedicated device at the condenser is the better answer.
Is grounding part of this?
It is the part that matters most, and it is the part most often wrong. We verify and correct grounding before installing anything.
Any insurance benefit?
Some carriers give credit. Worth a call to your agent with the model number we install.
