In Hawaiʻi, storms and power outages are a reality we all face. When power is interrupted, the reconnection process can send damaging voltage surges through your home’s electrical system. These surges can damage sensitive electronics — from refrigerators to computers — leading to costly repairs or full replacements.

At RevoluSun, we offer Whole Home Surge Protectors designed to protect your home from these surges — whether it’s a storm, a lightning strike, or fluctuations from the utility grid.

A typical home has tens of thousands of dollars in electronics vulnerable to power surges.

What is a power surge?

A power surge is a sudden spike in voltage that travels through your home’s electrical system. Even a fraction-of-a-second surge can fry circuit boards, shorten appliance lifespan, and cause complete equipment failure. TVs, computers, refrigerators, and air conditioning units are especially vulnerable.

Key Features

• $75,000 Insurance Coverage — If your equipment gets damaged by a surge, our protector covers up to $75,000 worth of electronics.
• NEC 2020 Compliant — Surge protection is now required under the National Electrical Code for modern homes.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty — Your investment is covered for the long term, not just a year or two.

Protection Options

Every home is different. We offer flexible options so you can get the right level of protection:

• Main Distribution Panel Protection — One surge protector at your main panel. The most common and cost-effective option for most Hawaiʻi homes.
• Enhanced Protection with Refeed Panel — A second surge protector at your solar or battery refeed panel for an extra layer of defense on your energy system.
• Sensitive Circuit Protection — Protection on specific circuits most vulnerable to surges, like home theater systems, kitchen appliances, or home office equipment.

Pricing & Installation

We can retrofit surge protection to your existing electrical system for approximately $1,500 (plus potential adders depending on your panel setup). Installation typically takes just a few hours by one of our local, licensed electricians.

• If space is limited in your panel, we may consolidate circuits or add a subpanel to fit the surge protector.
• For homes with BUS systems, we may add a refeed panel to ensure full protection.
• Surge protection works alongside your existing solar and battery system — no changes needed to your solar setup.
