  • To ensure your valuable devices have adequate protection against power surges, we want you to know what a power surge is and how it affects your electronic devices. Power surges can happen when your voltage increases suddenly. This issue may substantially exceed your system’s standard 120 volts. When a power surge occurs, a device’s wiring will overheat and start to burn. The world has a wealth of technology available. A few examples of devices that are at risk of damage from a power surge include televisions, stereos, phones, microwaves, and computers. People depend on these and other electronics for entertainment, cooking, professional activities, and many other reasons. Many electronic devices have circuitry or microchips that make them particularly sensitive to voltage fluctuations. A whole house surge protector installation is the best way to protect your valued devices, and Mr. Electric of Lansing will gladly help. Even a very minor power surge can affect your devices in the following ways:

    • Put a strain on your devices
    • Compromise their performance
    • Destroy them

What Are Surge Protectors?

Most homeowners typically imagine a power strip with various electronic devices plugged into its many outlets when thinking about a surge protector. A household surge protector functions by passing an electrical outlet’s electric current to any devices you plug into its power strip. When your system experiences a surge or spike above a designated level, a surge protector automatically redirects any excess electricity into a power strip component known as metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Power strips you use at home were probably purchased online or at a retail location. These cheaper devices offer limited protection for your electronics, and you usually need to replace them after any power surge happens in your home. The best way to protect all your household investments is to contact Mr. Electric of Lansing and schedule a whole house surge protector installation.

  • The main advantage of a whole home surge protector is that the entire electrical system and all of the appliances and electronics on it are protected from major power surges coming from outside the home. Also, the large appliances that take the most power – HVAC systems, refrigerators, ranges, and clothes dryers – must be connected directly to dedicated wall outlets that have more than one breaker switch in the electrical panel. The only way to protect the large appliances from power surges is to install whole home surge protection equipment.

    Mr. Electric of Lansing offers a free home power inspection to determine how much power your home uses, and how a power surge might affect the appliances and electronics. You will receive a report with a detailed, written quote for the surge protection equipment that will service the home. Then Mr. Electric will schedule a convenient installation appointment. At that time, your licensed electrician will hard wire the surge protector into the home’s main line at the electrical panel.

    If your home has multiple electrical panels due to a renovation or addition, smaller surge protection equipment can be installed for those dedicated circuits. For example, a home office or sunroom addition may be on a separate power line and need its own surge protection.

    Mr. Electric of Lansing installs, repairs and services surge protection equipment in homes and commercial businesses throughout the Lansing area, including Dalworthington Gardens, Kennedale, Mansfield and Pantego.
