Hi, I’m Jason from Pro Electric, LLC.
I recently installed a surge protector, replacing the one that failed for a client in Dumfries, Virginia.
The client had expensive electronics—a big-screen TV, a computer, and a gaming system.
The homeowner was worried that their electronics would be at risk when damaging weather hit the Dumfries area.
Understanding the Problem
Power surges may harm electronics.
They might arise from lightning strikes, utility issues, faulty wiring, or big devices flipping on and off.
Even tiny surges could be damaging over time.
Our Solution
I suggested replacing the faulty whole-house surge protector.
It links to the electrical panel and safeguards the house from power surges entering the house.
Installation Process
The following day I visited their home. Installation steps were:
- Safety: I shut down the primary power to work.
- Mounting: The surge protector was placed near the electric panel.
- Wiring: Connected it up to code to the panel.
- Testing: Restored power and tested system.
Results
The installation took a few hours.
Now, their entire home is protected from unexpected power surges.
The client was relieved to know that their valuable electronics were safe.
Why It Matters
A whole-house surge protector is a wise investment that can prevent costly damages.
It’s worth considering if you have expensive electronics or work from home.
Final Thoughts
Consider installing a whole-house surge protector if you’re concerned about power surges.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions or need help with installation.
Stay safe,
Jason

“Excellent service and very professional. Jason is extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and takes his work seriously. His pricing was also very fair and reasonable. My house suddenly had an electrical issue and kept tripping the breaker, and I had no idea what was causing it. I contacted several other electricians before, but none of them could figure out the problem. A friend recommended Jason, and he came over and diagnosed everything quickly. He spent about 1–2 hours and completely solved the issue. I really appreciate his professionalism and highly recommend this company!+0Posted on Google
Ryan Yao5 April 2026Kitchen light fixture all the sudden broke down at Saturday night. Called and the technician Peter showed up as soon as he could on the next day. He did a quick examination and recommended us to replace it with a newer model, since the old one was outdated. He later went and got me a replacement from Home Depot and then installed for us quickly. The work is quick and beautiful with a very reasonable price for a weekend work. I highly recommended. If you need a professional and honest electrician, you have to give them a call 👍👍+0Posted on Google
Silvia Gaetano19 June 2025I said no way to going up a 25 ft. ladder to change a fire detector at the top of my cathedral ceiling, but Peter did! I can’t sing his praises enough, my only complaint is that I didn’t find his company years ago! He’s polite, clean, and efficient. I’m hiring him to come back next week to change out my light fixtures as well. Thanks for your help if you’re reading this!+0Posted on Google

Kevin Chung30 December 2024From start to finish, Peter and team were punctual, professional, and made it clear they took pride in their work. After an initial assessment, he walked us through the process for the charger installation and began to go right to work. They are fair, reliable, and customer oriented. After speaking to multiple contractors around the area - I cannot say the same for everyone else. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future HVAC needs!+0Posted on Google

Albert Li3 June 20242nd time working with the folks, awesome experience with ProElectric. Peter and Jason were super helpful and friendly. They put in some recessed lights for us, installed a chandelier, pedent lights and set up eight smart switches. They really went the extra mile to make sure everything was spot on. They explained what they were doing in a way that made sense to me. i wouldn't look elsewhere if i have some electric needs.+0Posted on Thumbtack

Jason and his team are some of the best out there! Make sure you reach out to him with as much notice as possible, because he gets booked up quickly (makes sense, given how great the work is). Jason and his colleague Jose were efficient in installing 3 ceiling fans, a chandelier (tricky, non American standard, but they still made it work), a powder room wall outlet, and 2 wall sconces. They were even able to wire in some dimmer switches for me as a last second request, while they were completing the other tasks. One of the fans I bought had a faulty motor, and Jason made sure to squeeze me in immediately the following week to get the correct fan installed. They even installed a video doorbell for me and hardwired it to work with my existing chime (something I could not figure out myself). Moreover, their prices are extremely fair and reasonable for the quality of their work, and the knowledge they have. I will always work with Jason, Jose, and the team at Pro Electric for all of my electrical and wiring needs. Thank you guys again!+2Posted on Thumbtack

Zachary L.23 March 2023I hired Pro Electric to install a receptacle for an EV charger in the garage and I couldn't be happier with the result. Jason conducted an initial assessment over FaceTime, and him and José were very professional during the installation. Pro Electric was the best price for our job, and they were also fine with me providing the electrical wire to cut costs. I would absolutely hire them again!+0Posted on Thumbtack

They were quick and responsive to questions, arrived on time, and were very professional in appearance and manner. I was impressed to the point that I immediately asked them back to work on a few more projects. I do not lightly recommend just any contractor.
