With median property values in Cary exceeding $525,000, it’s safe to say that homeowners are heavily invested. A big part of what makes your home habitable, however, is the same thing that many people overlook: the electrical system. That 85-inch TV in your media room, the high-end computer setup in your home office, the smart home system controlling everything from climate to security – these are all comforts and conveniences that depend on a functional electrical system. One power surge and they could all be wiped out. To be clear, a lightning strike hitting your home is incredibly rare – but 80% of power surges are internal. A whole house surge protector installation in Cary offers protection from all sorts of power surges, and Mr. Electric is proud to offer professional service.
When most people hear "power surge," they think dramatic lightning strikes during North Carolina's summer thunderstorms. Those definitely happen (our location means we get our share of severe weather), but lightning represents only a fraction of surge events that threaten your home. The majority of power surges come from mundane sources. Your HVAC system cycling on and off creates voltage spikes. So does your refrigerator compressor, your garage door opener, and even your neighbor's equipment starting up. The electrical grid itself generates surges during switching operations, when transformers fail, or when demand fluctuates. These everyday surges might not fry your electronics instantly like a lightning strike can, but it’s death by a thousand cuts. Every voltage spike weakens circuits, shortens lifespan, and moves your expensive devices closer to failure.

If you’re like many people, then you've probably got a few of those surge protector power strips from Costco. Maybe you paid $30 for a good one. You feel protected, right? Careful.
Those power strips should have a joule rating (that's how much surge energy they can absorb) usually between 400 and 1,000 joules. Sounds like a lot until you learn that a nearby lightning strike can generate 200,000 joules. Your $30 power strip gets obliterated instantly.
Even worse, those power strips only protect what's plugged directly into them. Hardwired appliances like HVAC and smart home devices get zero protection. Power strips are not going to protect the electrical wiring, either.
For full coverage, you’ll need a solution implemented where electricity enters the building in the first place; you’ll need a whole-house surge protection installation.
With a whole-home surge protection installation in Cary, you protect the source rather than trying to protect each and every device individually. Mounted directly at your electrical panel where power enters your home, whole-house surge protectors defend everything downstream.
It’s a large safety net, and a powerful net at that. These systems are rated at 50,000 to 80,000 joules or higher. And unlike those power strips that wear out silently after absorbing a few surges, whole house systems can handle multiple surge events and include indicator lights that show they're still working.
If you are considering a power surge protector installation in Cary, or have concerns regarding an existing one, then call or message Mr. Electric to hire a certified and uniformed professional. We are proud to service residential and commercial electrical systems.
As a licensed and insured electrical company with decades of industry experience, Mr. Electric stands by workmanship with a 1-year guarantee. Our office team is happy to take your call before, during, or after your service appointment.
