A Type 2 surge protective device installed at your panel in Logan — protecting the appliances, electronics and HVAC equipment that plug-in strips never reach.
The surge that kills electronics almost never arrives as a lightning strike. It arrives when the utility restores power after an outage, or when a large motor in the neighborhood cycles. Logan runs Logan City Light & Power, its own municipal utility, so meter disconnects and reconnects are coordinated with the city.
Logan’s older neighborhoods, especially the Island and the blocks around campus, hold a large share of the pre-1940 housing in Cache Valley. Knob-and-tube, cloth wire and fuse services all still turn up. Here is what that means on the ground.
A device at the panel is the only thing that stands between that transient and everything hardwired in the house: the furnace board, the heat pump, the range, the well pump, the garage door opener. None of those are on a power strip.
Logan runs Logan City Light & Power, its own municipal utility, so meter disconnects and reconnects are coordinated with the city. We install surge protection across Logan and Cache County, usually in a single short appointment, and we verify the grounding electrode system while we are there.
Installed at the service panel so everything downstream is covered, including the hardwired equipment a power strip cannot protect.
Furnace boards, heat pump controls and AC condensers are among the most expensive things a surge takes out, and none of them are on a power strip.
Modern ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers and washers are all computers with a heating element attached.
A surge device is only as good as the ground it discharges into. We verify the grounding electrode system as part of the install.
Panel-level protection plus point-of-use devices at your most sensitive equipment is the configuration that actually works.

Permits: we pull the Logan electrical permit where the work requires one and schedule the inspection.
Power company: Logan City Light & Power (municipal). We coordinate the meter disconnect and reconnect with the city.
Local conditions: Logan runs Logan City Light & Power, its own municipal utility, so meter disconnects and reconnects are coordinated with the city.
You never deal with the city or the utility. That is our job.
We work throughout Logan and Cache County, including Utah State University and the mouth of Logan Canyon.
A Type 2 device at the panel clamps the voltage transients that come down the service conductors, which is the majority of what damages equipment. It is not a substitute for good grounding, and it does not replace point-of-use protection at your most sensitive electronics — it works alongside both.

It cuts what reaches them substantially. For expensive electronics we still recommend a point-of-use protector or a UPS in addition, so you have two stages rather than one.
Most installations are a single short appointment at your existing panel. If your grounding system needs correction first, we tell you before we schedule rather than after.
