Installing Whole House Surge Protectors for Damage Control

  • Power surges happen in an instant, and the damage that occurs if your devices aren’t protected is irreversible. They occur when there’s a sudden increase in voltage through your residential electrical system, exceeding the standard 120 volts. If this happens, the electrical devices you have plugged in can start to overheat and burn. Some of the most common devices at risk include laptops, phones, microwaves, televisions, and other gadgets. Some parts and components inside these devices can make them especially sensitive to fluctuations in voltage. Having the highly qualified electricians at your local Mr. Electric of St. Augustine install a whole house surge protector is the best way to protect your electronics. Power surges can do the following damage:

    • Put a strain on your devices
    • Compromise the performance of your devices
    • Cause you to lose saved data and stored files
    • Destroy your electronics
    • Cause an electrical fire (in rare cases)

What Causes Power Surges?

Power surges can occur for various reasons, which is why it's important to ensure your home and devices are fully protected. Heavy-duty appliances such as washers, dryers, and air conditioners require a significant amount of electricity to run, interrupting the steady voltage flow to your residential electrical system. The most common causes of residential power surges include:

  • Downed power lines
  • Faulty electric wiring
  • Overloading the electrical system
  • Restoring power after a blackout
  • Issues with utility company’s lines, transformers, or other equipment
  • Lightning storms

  • Whole house surge protectors work similarly to household power strips, but they connect to your home’s electrical panel and are designed to withstand several power surges over many years. When a power surge occurs, your whole house surge protector will act as a filter that blocks excess electricity from entering your home’s electrical system. Power strips that can be bought at retail stores offer limited device protection. Let the team at Mr. Electric of St. Augustine professionally install a whole house surge protector at your residential property.
