options, not pressure

We guide. You decide.

We present your options and you choose – no high pressure close. Explore the honest pros and cons of each below.

Surge Protection Evaluation

A licensed electrician evaluates your panel's compatibility to determine what a surge protection installation would involve.

Often A Good Fit When

You're exploring surge protection and want to understand your options before deciding.

Pros

  • Confirms compatibility with your existing panel
  • Costs less than the installation itself
  • Helps you compare options before committing
  • No obligation to move forward

Cons

  • Does not install anything on its own
  • Not every panel is set up the same way
  • May confirm installation is the right next step anyway
DIY VS PRO

Should you do it yourself?

Once your surge protection device is installed, checking its indicator light periodically is a simple way to see whether it's showing a normal status.

Diagnosing or servicing the device itself calls for a licensed electrician. If the indicator shows a problem, a McQuillan technician can take a closer look.

DIY versus Hiring a Pro
An Honest Comparison DIY Hiring a Pro
Time Minutes for an indicator light check Often available same-day
Real Cost No cost Upfront quote before work
Insurance Not typically applicable Provides a documented service record
Warranty Not typically applicable Backed by our workmanship
Safety Safe for basic indicator checks only Handled by a licensed electrician

Do the looking. Leave the fixing to us.
