Whole-home surge protection
The Front Range gets grid switching spikes and summer lightning, and modern homes are full of electronics and appliance control boards that do not survive them. A surge protective device wired at the panel clamps those spikes before they reach anything. It installs in about an hour, mounts to a double-pole breaker, and covers the whole house rather than one power strip at a time.

Do any of these sound familiar?
Signs you need this
You have replaced an appliance control board
Garage-door, mini-split and oven boards fail from surge damage far more often than from age.
Lights flicker or blink when the grid switches
You are seeing the small end of the same phenomenon that delivers the large spikes.
A new panel with an open slot
The best and cheapest time to add one is while the panel is already open for other work.
A home office, a media room, or a smart home
The replacement cost of what is plugged in is now well past the cost of protecting it.

Permits and inspection
A panel-mounted device is typically installed under the same rules as adding a breaker. Some jurisdictions want it on a permit and the Town of Parker and Douglas County differ, so we confirm and handle it.

“Did a fantastic job on replacing my panel in my home !!!”
5 days ago
“Judd was great. I called for an estimate, they came right out, game a good price, i hired them, they showed up right away, did a great job, took care of my gear and my dogs, and pleasure to work with. Allsafe installed a new 20-amp line for my stereo and installed a whole house surge protector and of course had to fix some issues with my breaker panel because my house was built recently by a homebuilder that took some short cuts.”Read the full review

“We originally called Allsafe to look at adding some new lighting to our dining room and fixing some lighting issues in our bathrooms. Judd from Allsafe informed us there were concerns about our electrical service panel but could do the repairs we asked. We put the project on hold due to some urgent medical issues. About 2 months later we had an outlet in the kitchen arc and burn out. Our electrical service panel breakers didn’t trip appropriately. We called Judd back out to assess the situation. He was very thorough in evaluating what was going on with our electrical system. He found multiple issues with our ancient service panel and improper grounding throughout the house. Judd and his team replaced our electrical service panel, multiple outlets, installed new bathroom light fixtures, and installed new recessed lighting in our dining area. They found and fixed a few other minor issues along the way at no additional cost. Working with Allsafe was awesome! All the work they did looks great and we’re very happy we chose them to upgrade our electrical system.”Read the full review

“Judson Cushing and the AllSafe Electric team continue to impress. Judson recently installed an outlet above my pool table along with a wall switch for a new pool table light. The placement was thoughtful, the install was clean, and the finished product looks like it was always meant to be there. Functionally perfect and aesthetically spot-on. This is at least the third project AllSafe Electirc has completed for me (which includes installing an auxiliary panel, running new circuits, and troubleshooting problems). As always, Judson and Shawn were very responsive, on time, did a fantastic job in short order. They clearly take pride in their work. It is hard to find contractors who combine technical skill with real customer focus, but AllSafe Electric does. I couldn’t be happier. Judson and Allsafe Electric have absolutely and repeatedly earned my business and recognition.”Read the full review

“Jud is so wonderful, he is very communicative, punctual, and transparent with his pricing and the work he does. He did a large electrical project at our house in Parker which included installing a whole new breaker box, ground rods, etc. Not only did he coordinate efficiently with the electric company and county inspectors, but he made the whole process easy and painless for us. Would definitely recommend him and his professional team.”Read the full review

Common questions
Does this replace my power strips?
It works with them. The panel device takes the large external spikes, and point-of-use protectors handle the small stuff generated inside the house. Two layers is the right setup for expensive electronics.
How long does a surge protector last?
The device sacrifices itself absorbing surges. A good one lasts years and has an indicator light, and when that goes out the module is replaced rather than the whole unit.
Will it stop a direct lightning strike?
No device stops a direct strike to the house. It handles the far more common nearby strikes and grid transients, which is what actually damages most equipment.
Can you add it without a new panel?
Yes, as long as there is space for a double-pole breaker and the grounding is sound. We check both before quoting.
Where we do surge protection
We handle surge protection across Parker and the surrounding south metro. That includes Parker, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Centennial and The Pinery, plus every other town on our service area page. Each town page lists its own permit authority and electric utility, which genuinely differ across Douglas, Arapahoe and Elbert counties.
