Will a surge protector help me save money on my power bill?

No, a surge protector is not an energy-saving device. It acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that any excess electrical energy surges are blocked and diverted away from your devices. The surge protector's sole purpose is to safeguard against voltage spikes and prevent potential damage to your valuable equipment.

Will a surge protector in the panel box protect everything in my home?

Yes, but there is more than one way for lightning to enter your home. Lighting enters your home mainly by traveling along your cable, electrical, or phone lines. Lightning is lazy, and it prefers an unobstructed path. We can install a whole house surge protector that will protect your entire home. Once the voltage hits your electrical panel, it stops. It cannot prevent lightning damage on anything the lighting hits before your panel, including your circuits. How big is Mr. Electric's whole house surge protector? Our team will consult with you about the best types of whole house surge protectors for each space. The size of the main panel surge protector is approximately equal to the dimensions of two decks of cards.

Is there a warranty on the surge protector?

Yes, the manufacturer provides a comprehensive warranty that encompasses even damage to connected equipment such as appliances, furnaces, and well pumps. This warranty typically ranges from $25,000 to $75,000 per occurrence, serving as a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. We strongly advise customers to carefully review the warranty details specific to their unit for precise information. While the warranty remains an important consideration during surge protector purchase, it pales in comparison to the paramount importance of having functioning surge protection in place. Our worst-case scenario entails receiving a distressing call from a customer who regrettably neglected to install a surge protector for various reasons, only to suffer immense damage and overwhelming costs as a result.

Our equipment is connected to a UPS, do we still need surge protection?

Uninterruptible power supplies offer backup power to help protect your equipment from electrical damage. These systems do not provide any protection for the control and communication lines in today's network-type environments or AC power protection to network nodes. UPS's surge protection elements are smaller than those of stand-alone surge protector devices. We've never had any problems with surges, why do we need surge protection? Nowadays, surge-related incidents are prevalent in various parts of the world. Lightning strikes are just one example of the numerous factors contributing to transient sur e issues. The rapid advancement of modern electronic equipment has made it smaller, faster, and considerably more susceptible to transient-related problems compared to previous generations of equipment. Additionally, the interconnected nature of control and communication devices in today's networks amplifies their vulnerability to such issues. These challenges are relatively recent, becoming more frequent with the introduction of newer generations of control equipment. Therefore, it's essential to address these concerns to ensure our technological systems' smooth functioning. One electrical surge can cause significant damage.

We are based in an area with very little lightning, why do we need surge protection?

We understand some areas have less lighting than other areas. The problem is that one lightning strike can cause significant damage. It's essential to have a whole-house surge protector to protect your home from any lighting strike. A single surge-related incident will cause more damage than paying for a whole home surge protection system.

Understanding what power surges are can help you realize the importance of investing in whole-house surge protector installation for your home in Central Kentucky, Lexington, or Versailles, KY. A power surge can occur with a sudden increase in voltage substantially exceeding 120 volts. During a power surge, the wiring inside your electronic devices will overheat and begin to burn. Most families own a plethora of electronic devices, including computers, televisions, microwaves, phones, stereos, and more. Don’t put these valuable devices at risk without whole-house surge protectors. Many modern gadgets contain microchips or circuitry that is extremely sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Power surges can put a strain on your electronics and compromise their performance while sometimes destroying them altogether.
The surge protectors you buy online or in a big box store are not as effective as whole house surge protectors. Knowing the differences between these types of whole house surge protectors could save your valuable investments from being destroyed. In most cases, the cost of whole house surge protectors is a sound investment because you won’t have to replace those expensive electronics after they get fried from a power surge. Another reason it makes sense to invest in whole house surge protectors is that you’ll have to replace your power strips after every power surge. Those power strips pass electric current from electrical outlets to any devices plugged into the strip. When a spike or surge happens, the surge protector will redirect extra electricity into a component of the power strip known as metal oxide varistors.
Whole house surge protectors operate on the same basic principle as cheaper surge protectors, but the superior versions are able to withstand several power surges without needing to be replaced. Whole home surge protectors will protect all your household appliances and devices from damage due to electrical surges. Mr. Electric of Central Kentucky’s licensed and insured electricians install whole house surge protectors safely and efficiently to give you peace of mind and protect your belongings.

Downed power lines
Faulty electrical wiring
Lighting strikes, although rare
Problems with the utility company’s equipment, lines, or transformers
