If you live in Carrboro, then there's a good chance your home doubles as your creative workspace. Perhaps you're a UNC researcher with years of data stored on computers, or maybe you're mixing tracks in a makeshift studio. Whatever your situation, you're probably more dependent on electronics than you realize. So, it only makes sense to ensure that the electrical system is safe and sound. One of your most valuable tools is a surge protector. With a whole house surge protector installation, you can protect your electrical system and connected devices from sudden bursts in voltage. It’s not just about defending against rare lightning strikes. Power surges come in many forms and sizes. Downed power lines and even appliances cycling on-and-off can do damage. Continue reading or call Mr. Electric to learn why more and more homeowners are investing in a whole-home surge protection installation.
We're the town that banned single-use plastic bags before it was trendy; the place where people fix things instead of throwing them away. It’s this spirit of sustainability that drives many homeowners to install surge protectors. When voltage spikes kill your laptop or your recording equipment, all that technology ends up in a landfill, after all. Electronics and appliances won’t necessary break down at once, though. Moderate and sporadic surges, for instance, chip away at the electrical components. Over time, that damage adds up to affect performance, battery life, and more. You’ll assume it “died of age” when, in reality, it was death by a thousand cuts. The older homes here in Carrboro add another layer of complexity. Many of us live in structures built when the mill was still operating. These older systems weren't designed for modern electrical loads, and they are awfully vulnerable to power surges leading to electrical fires.

We’re not sharing ground-breaking news here. Many of us know that power surges are common and harmful, but what’s the solution? If you’ve got power strips webbed throughout your home, then you’re doing it wrong.
Clutter and trip hazards aside, power strips offer minimal protection and only work for whatever you plug directly into them. A whole house surge protection installation in Carrboro offers full coverage. Installed at the electrical panel, this comprehensive solution protects every outlet, every light fixture, and every hardwired device in your entire home.
Plus, power strips won’t protect the wiring that leads to the outlet. A whole-house system intercepts power surges at the electrical panel so that even the panel and electrical wiring are safe from excruciating voltage.
If you’re considering a whole-home power surge protector installation in Carrboro, then do your due diligence and hire certified, experienced, and reputable professionals. A qualified electrician will assess your home's size, your electrical panel capacity, and the amount of sensitive equipment you're protecting. Based on that, they’ll recommend an appropriately sized unit.
As for the installation, everything must be in compliance with building codes, standards, and regulations. Most installations take just a few hours and involves mounting the surge protector near the electrical panel, wiring into the power feed and grounding system, and testing.
We can sit here and boast about Mr. Electric’s great prices, top-tier quality work, and reputation for exceptional customer service, but we’d rather our actions do the talking.
When you choose Mr. Electric, you’ll be getting transparent pricing with upfront price quotes. We’ll even back our workmanship with a 1-year guarantee. If something’s not right, then call our office and we’ll have a local electrician make it right.
