Surge Protector for AC Units?
Posted on 5/6/24 at 3:02 pm

My mom (92) received a proposal to install surge protectors and a contactor to her homes ac units ($1208.00). The ac people came by and did their annual cleaning of the machine. The inside handler is a 2022 carrier and the outside is 2013 carrier. I dont know if this is a good price or needed at all. Any thoughts or information on surge protectors for AC Units…

I dont know why they replace the contactor unless it wasnt working. Could just be piece of mind for you though.
$1200 seems high for a surge protector and contactor though.
Maybe a few hours labor. The contactor for my unit is like $40 or less and the surge protector is around $65 depending on what unit they are quoting.
Surge protector isnt necessary unless you want one.

ETA: Can you do any of this work?

Not sure where you are located but got a whole home surge protector and breaker installed for $570 by GSE Integrated. Located in BR.

I installed this myself. It is a "Whole House" surge protector. It took about 30 minutes to install, including adding the 240 vac circuit breaker. Works very well! Of course it was about $75 cheaper when I bought it 4 years ago, but that discussion is for the Politics board.
