At Mr. Electric, we're committed to providing you with optimal solutions for your electrical needs. That’s why we offer comprehensive services for local customers including whole house surge protection installation in San Antonio, Texas, and surrounding metro area neighborhoods.

Understanding Electrical Surges and Their Dangers

Electricity is the lifeblood of modern technology. However, an unregulated flow, known as an electrical surge, can pose severe risks to your appliances and electronic devices. Electrical surges, often caused by lightning strikes or power grid disturbances, result in a brief but potentially devastating spike in voltage that can exceed a device's operating voltage. This sudden influx of electricity can cause immediate or cumulative damage to your electronics, possibly resulting in data loss, reduced lifespan, or complete device failure.

The Need for Surge Protection in Modern Homes

Today’s households are teeming with advanced electronic devices, from smart refrigerators and high-definition televisions to computer systems and home automation devices. Each of these electronics, sophisticated yet delicate, is vulnerable to the dangers of electrical surges. An unexpected power spike can transform your prized possessions into expensive paperweights in seconds. Consequently, investing in a surge protection system isn't just a smart decision, it's an essential one. Surge protectors can absorb and divert excess voltage, preventing it from reaching your devices, shielding them from damage, and ensuring their longevity.

The Basics of Whole House Surge Protection Installation in San Antonio

Performing a surge protector installation in San Antonio is not as simple as plugging in a power strip. True surge protection involves a whole-house system, starting at your electrical service panel. Electricians can install a primary surge protection device at your service panel and secondary surge protectors at the point of use. This two-tiered approach ensures that even in the event of a significant surge, your devices will remain safe and sound.

Looking After Your Surge Protection System

Maintenance is essential to ensure your surge protection system remains effective over time. Routine check-ups help identify any potential issues before they become significant problems, ensuring your system continues to provide adequate protection. Our professionals offer inspections and routine maintenance services, ensuring that your system is always operating at peak efficiency. We also provide insights into best practices for managing your electronics to further minimize the risk of surge-related damage.

Our Customers Love our Services

John was on time, explained the issue I was having, offered me a couple of options, and then repaired the switch that was giving me problems, following my preferences of the choices he had given me. He was pleasant, professional, and did a great job. Would not hesitate to use Mr. Electric again!

Sue Trautner

Austin, electrician and his teammate we’re great! Both were punctual, courteous, and very informative in explaining the situation and their recommendations to replace a bad breaker in our panel. There was NO frivolous attempt up-sale to items we didn’t need and they were straight to the point honest in their recommendation. In the end, I would described the customer service Austin and his teammate provided me as, AWESOME! Being a new home owner, I am glad I have found this company and will be using them any future electrical needs!

Mark Flores

Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall.

Rick from Mr. Electric arrived when expected and quickly diagnosed the problem. He recommended a solution and gave us a proposal for solving the problem. We asked when he could do the work and how long would it take. He said he could do the job that day and it would take 4 or 5 hours. The price was reasonable, and we told him to get started. He did a very good job, neat and within the estimated time. The invoice amount for the job was was the same as the proposal amount. We are planning on having Mr. Electric and hopefully Rick do more work in the near future to upgrade our home's 50+ year old electrical system. Photo of our new circuit breaker panel.
