One power surge is all it takes. A spring thunderstorm rolls across the Trinity River, lightning cracks near your neighborhood, and in a fraction of a second the voltage spike travels straight into your home. When there is no surge protection in place, that spike burns through electronics, appliances, HVAC control boards, and anything else plugged into the wall. What starts as a quick flash of light can end as a pile of dead devices and a repair bill that climbs into the thousands. Ignore the risk long enough and you are not gambling with one gadget, you are gambling with the wiring behind every outlet in the house.
That is where we come in. Bacon Plumbing Heating Air Electric has been protecting homes across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Houston since 2011, and you can reach us at (972) 645-2738. And the longer a home goes unprotected, the more surges it silently absorbs. Most people never notice the small daily spikes that shorten the life of a refrigerator compressor or a television board. But those hits add up, and by the time a big storm finishes the job, the damage has been building for months.
The reality is that our region gives surges plenty of opportunity. Severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes are common through the spring, and hot summers pushing past 100°F keep grids under heavy strain. The February 2021 winter storm reminded every Texan how fast power can fail and how hard it can hit equipment when it comes back. Whether you live near Deep Ellum, out toward Plano and McKinney, over in Sundance Square, or down in Katy and Sugar Land, the same weather patterns put your electronics at risk.
Whole-home surge protection installs at your electrical panel and stops spikes before they spread through your circuits. Point-of-use protectors at the outlet add a second layer for sensitive gear like computers and entertainment systems. And when we combine both, your home gets coverage from the panel all the way to the plug.
Here is what our electrical team handles alongside surge protection:
- Electrical Repair
- Rewiring
- Electrical Panels
- EV Charging Stations
- Lighting Installation
- Surge Protection
- Emergency Electrical Repair
Every one of those jobs is done by a licensed and insured electrician. And because voltage spikes rarely wait for a convenient moment, we run 24/7 emergency service across the metros. Our normal business hours are Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm, and during those hours there is no service call fee. After-hours emergency calls include a dispatch fee, which we tell you up front so there are no surprises.
Built on Trust in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston
Brad Bacon founded this company in Rockwall, and it is still family-owned today. We now work out of four offices, in Rockwall, Fort Worth, Plano, and Spring, which keeps a crew close to your corner of the region. Our technicians are GPS-tracked, so you get accurate arrival times instead of a vague window. And we offer service in both English and Spanish.
Even better, electrical panels we install carry a lifetime warranty with no membership required. Behind our work stands a 100% satisfaction guarantee, backed by top honors from HomeAdvisor and Nextdoor. The catch with surge protection is that it only helps if it is installed correctly and sized for your panel, which is exactly why homeowners across DFW and Houston call the licensed pros rather than guessing at a hardware-store plug strip.
Same-day appointments are available, including weekends. And if you want ongoing coverage, our Friends and Family Plan starts at $15.95 a month and includes annual electrical inspections, waived service fees, and 15 percent off services.
