Wendt Electric, an electrical contractor serving Marin and Sonoma Counties, has expanded its comprehensive service offerings to include specialized surge protection solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout the region. The addition addresses growing concerns about electrical equipment vulnerability in an era of increasing power grid instability and extreme weather events.
The expanded service line encompasses whole-house surge protection systems and point-of-use protectors designed to safeguard valuable electronics, appliances, and critical business equipment from damaging voltage spikes. The company's surge protection solutions utilize premium components from established manufacturers, including Leviton, Square D/Schneider Electric, and Eaton Electrical Systems.
"Power surges have become increasingly common due to factors ranging from lightning strikes to utility switching errors and overloaded circuits," said Gabriel Wendt, owner of Wendt Electric. "By expanding our surge protection services, we're helping property owners protect their investments in electronics, security systems, medical devices, and other sensitive equipment that can be irreparably damaged by sudden voltage spikes."
The surge protection service expansion comes as electrical infrastructure faces mounting challenges from extreme weather patterns and aging power grid components. Recent industry data indicate that power surges cause billions of dollars in damage to commercial and residential properties annually, with the average home containing thousands of dollars' worth of electronics vulnerable to electrical spikes.
Wendt Electric's surge protection services include a comprehensive assessment of existing electrical systems, identification of vulnerability points, and installation of appropriate protective devices tailored to each property's specific needs. For residential clients, this typically involves whole-house surge protectors installed at the main electrical panel, supplemented by point-of-use protectors for particularly sensitive or valuable equipment. Commercial installations often require more complex configurations to protect specialized equipment, computer networks, and industrial machinery.
The company's technicians undergo specialized training in surge protection technology and installation techniques, ensuring proper grounding, appropriate device selection, and compliance with current electrical codes. Each installation includes testing and verification procedures to confirm optimal protection levels.
Beyond surge protection, the company maintains its established service portfolio, including electrical panel upgrades, electric vehicle charger installation, electrical safety inspections, comprehensive wiring services, home generator installation, knob and tube electrical services, lighting design and installation, and new construction electrical systems.
Based in Sebastopol, California, Wendt Electric has built a reputation for professional service and technical expertise across Marin and Sonoma Counties. The company serves both residential and commercial clients, providing electrical solutions ranging from routine maintenance to complex new construction projects. Their team of licensed electricians combines traditional craftsmanship with current technology and safety standards to deliver reliable electrical services throughout the North Bay region.
