What’s a power surge?

A power surge, or voltage surge, is a brief spike in the electrical voltage flowing through your home’s wiring. Surges can last for just a fraction of a second but can be powerful enough to cause serious damage to electrical devices.

These surges often occur when electrical equipment is turned on or off, or from external sources like lightning strikes, faulty power lines, or issues from your electric utility. Though small electrical devices like phone chargers or televisions might survive one or two minor surges, frequent or larger ones can cause significant damage.

The Solution: Surge Protectors

Surge protectors work by diverting excess electrical current away from sensitive devices and safely discharging it into the ground. Think of them as your home’s first line of defense against the electrical chaos that surges can create.

Surge protectors come in various forms: some are built into individual power strips while others are installed directly into your home's electrical panel to provide more comprehensive protection.

Without protection, your TV, refrigerator, or computer can suffer permanent damage. A surge protection installation ensures that unexpected spikes of electricity are immediately rerouted to keep your devices and appliances safe.

Why you need a professional installation

Installing a whole house surge protector isn’t a DIY project for the average homeowner. Proper installation requires a licensed and certified electrician who can make sure the device is properly integrated into your home’s electrical panel.

Attempting to install a surge protector yourself, or hiring an unqualified individual, could lead to improper wiring that may leave your home vulnerable to surges or, even worse, create a fire hazard.

Surge protectors must be sized correctly based on the electrical load in your home and the level of protection you want. An electrician can help you choose the right model and provide professional installation.

Ask for your price estimate upfront

Though a surge protector pays for itself by preventing costly repairs and replacements, homeowners are justified in wondering what it will cost. At Mr. Electric, we are confident in our prices and offer quotes upfront and before the work begins.

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.
