Whole Home Surge Protection in Calgary

Most homeowners never see a power surge coming—but its effects can be devastating. From fried TVs and game consoles to damaged HVAC systems and smart appliances, electrical surges can silently drain your wallet and compromise your home’s safety.
We specialize in whole home surge protection that starts at your main electrical panel and extends to every connected outlet and appliance. Our solutions shield your home from external events like lightning strikes and grid fluctuations, as well as internal surges caused by motor-driven appliances like refrigerators or HVAC units.

What Is a Load Miser—and Why It Matters for Your Home
A Load Miser is a smart energy management device that helps prevent overloads by temporarily shutting off non-essential appliances during peak demand. It’s ideal for homes with high-power systems like EV chargers, hot tubs, air conditioners, or electric water heaters.
Think of it as a traffic controller for your home’s power—keeping energy flowing efficiently without overloading your electrical panel.
How It Works with Load Calculations
During an electrical load calculation, we assess how much electricity your home needs. If your system is near its limit, a Load Miser helps manage usage by preventing multiple large appliances from running at the same time—avoiding the need for costly panel upgrades.
Added Surge Protection
Load Misers also support your whole home surge protection by helping stabilize power flow. When heavy appliances start or stop, they can cause internal voltage spikes. A Load Miser smooths this out, reducing wear on your system and protecting your electronics.
Key Benefits:
- Prevents Panel Overload
- Supports Surge Protection
- Improves Energy Efficiency
- Perfect for Homes with EV Chargers or HVAC Additions
At JPS Furnace & Air Conditioning, we help Calgary homeowners combine Load Misers, panel surge protection, and accurate breaker panel load calculations to create safer, smarter electrical systems built for today—and tomorrow.
Be Surge Smart—Protect Your Power Investment
Power surges are unpredictable, but your protection doesn’t have to be. With JPS Furnace & Air Conditioning, you get reliable, long-lasting home surge protection from certified professionals who put safety and performance first.

A whole-home surge protector is installed at your electrical panel. It redirects excess voltage from power surges—caused by lightning, grid issues, or appliance cycling—away from your home’s wiring and electronics.
Yes. While no system can offer 100% protection from a direct strike, quality whole home surge protection significantly reduces the risk of damage from nearby lightning or other power surges.
Basic plug-in protectors can be DIY, but panel surge protectors should always be installed by a licensed electrician. This ensures code compliance and effective protection throughout your home.
Start with a professional breaker panel load calculation to assess your system’s limits. Avoid using too many high-demand appliances on the same circuit, and consider Load Misers to manage peak loads more effectively.
A Load Miser is a smart device that helps balance your home’s power usage. It automatically limits non-essential appliances during peak demand to prevent overloads and reduce the risk of internal surges—especially helpful when your system is nearing capacity.
While not always required, whole-home surge protectors are highly recommended—especially for new builds or major panel upgrades. They’re also increasingly common in Alberta Safety Code recommendations for electronic protection.
