Residential Panel & Surge Protection
Whole-Home Surge Protection + Panel Upgrade
Include Surge Protection in Your Panel Upgrade Plans.
Consider your electrical panel and surge protection together when planning improvements for your home’s appliances, electronics and connected equipment.
Jack’s Electric provides whole-home surge protection and panel upgrade services in Oregon City, Portland Metro, surrounding Oregon communities and Clark County, Washington. If you are replacing an existing panel or reviewing your home’s electrical setup, contact us to discuss both parts of the project.
A combined project starts with a review of the existing panel, any surge protection already installed and the changes you are planning. Share details of new equipment, renovation work and previous electrical improvements so the proposed scope reflects your property.
What Should Your Project Include?
The panel work and surge protection should each be clearly described in your project discussion. Useful information includes:
- The location and available details of your existing panel.
- Whether you are replacing the panel or planning a broader service upgrade.
- Any existing surge protection equipment and its model information.
- New appliances, electronics or electrical equipment being added.
- Planned circuits for an EV charger, remodel or home addition.
- Reports or records from previous electrical work.
Plan the Panel Work and Protection Together
Ask how the proposed surge protection equipment will fit into the panel installation and which components are included. Equipment selection, installation location and the existing electrical arrangement should be considered as part of the project.
Your estimate should also explain the panel replacement scope, any circuit changes and whether other electrical work is required. This helps distinguish the equipment being installed from additional improvements that may need a separate discussion.
If your project includes replacing the meter equipment or service mast, mention this when enquiring about service replacement . For a panel-focused project, you can also review our panel upgrade service .

Account for the Equipment You Are Adding
A panel project is a useful time to discuss upcoming electrical changes. Share the specifications for major appliances and other equipment, along with where they will be installed, so those plans can be considered before the work is defined.
If you are arranging an EV charger installation or a smart home upgrade , include those details in your enquiry. Coordinating the discussions helps clarify which work belongs in the current project and which changes are planned later.
Include your property location, the reason for the upgrade and any equipment you plan to add. Photos of the outside of your panel, with its door closed, and records of existing surge protection can help explain your current setup.
