210-955-9600We all rely on electricity to power our homes. However, there's an unseen danger lurking in the electrical system that can cause significant damage: power surges.
Whether caused by a sudden lightning strike, faulty wiring, or a sudden fluctuation in the electrical grid, power surges are a major risk to both your devices and your home. Fortunately, there’s a solution: a whole house power surge protector installation.
If you’re interested in fortifying your electrical system with a surge protection installation in Converse, then call Mr. Electric to schedule an appointment today. Our team is ready to take your call at any time of the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
