Imagine you're watching your favorite show when the lights flicker and, suddenly, everything goes dark. When the power comes back on, your TV won't turn on and your refrigerator makes a strange buzzing sound. Your laptop, which was charging in the other room, is completely dead. In just one split second, a power surge has destroyed thousands of dollars worth of electronics and appliances. This scenario happens more often than you might think, and it's entirely preventable. No, we’re not talking about power strips. For a robust and reliable solution, consider a whole-house power surge protector installation in Apex. The certified electricians at Mr. Electric can help. Call now or continue reading to learn more.
Your home's electrical system is designed to deliver a steady and consistent 120- or 240-volts to your outlets. But that flow isn't always smooth. Multiple times a day, power surges disrupt this balance by sending voltage spikes coursing through your wiring. Lightning strikes get all the blame and attention – and for good reason. A single bolt can inject millions of volts into your electrical system. That’s typically enough power for frying everything connected to an outlet. But here's a surprise: lightning isn’t even the leading cause of power surges. The real culprits are much more common and happen right under your nose. For instance, voltage fluctuations can ripple through the grid when the power company switches equipment or repairs lines in your neighborhood. Downed power lines from car accidents or falling trees can, too, create sudden surges as the system struggles to reroute electricity. Even large appliances are culprits as they cause mini-surges every time they cycle on and off. Your air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer all create these voltage spikes dozens of times per day. These smaller surges might not destroy your devices immediately, but they chip away at them over time.

When homeowners consider surge protection installation, their mind often first goes to power strips with integrated protection. Unfortunately, it doesn't even come close.
First of all, those power strips only protect what's plugged directly into them. What about your refrigerator, dishwasher, garage door opener, HVAC system, or the dozens of other devices hardwired into your home? They're completely vulnerable.
Secondly, most power strip surge protectors are cheap and offer minimal protection. They might stop a small surge, but a serious voltage spike will blow right through them.
Third, you'd need power strips on every single outlet in your house to come close to comprehensive protection. That's impractical, expensive, and still wouldn't protect hardwired appliances. Plus, it’s an eyesore and a trip hazard.
A whole house surge protector installation solves all these problems in one stroke. This system is installed directly at your electrical panel (the main hub where power enters your home). There, it monitors and controls voltage flowing through the circuits in your house.
When a surge happens, the whole-house protector detects the excess voltage in milliseconds and diverts it safely to ground before it can reach your devices. This protection covers everything from your lighting and chargers to appliances and security systems.
A whole house surge protection installation in Apex, NC is quick and affordable when you choose Mr. Electric. In fact, we provide price quotes UPFRONT and BEFORE the work begins so you can budget responsibly.
