  • Power surges can occur due to lightning strikes, power restoration following outages, faulty wiring or power grid issues. When these surges present, you'll want to ensure you have a surge protector in place. Surge protectors limit the voltage connected to your devices or appliances. When the voltage exceeds the threshold, protectors block it or divert the charge away from your devices and into the ground.

  • Avoid costly electrical repairs when Mr. Electric of Edmonton is on the job. When you need a whole-home surge protector in Edmonton, our skilled service providers will ensure your computers, phones, and other devices are well protected.

  • There are three surge protector types:

    • Type 1: This type protects your home against external surges, such as lightning strikes, and is installed between your service transformer and the main electrical panel.
    • Type 2: This type of surge protector protects your home from both external and internal surges and is installed on the load-bearing side of your service panel.*
    • Type 3: These are plug-in surge protectors for individual appliances.

    (*Please note that Type 2 is typically the only one we install, but feel free to reach out for more information.)

Frequently Asked Questions About Whole-Home Surge Protector Installation: Edmonton

  • If you're curious about our comprehensive installation process, our professionals have laid out the step-by-step guide of what to expect below:

    1. Pre-Installation Assessment: Before we start the installation, it's important to assess your electrical panel to ensure it has sufficient space for the surge protector. If the panel is full, we may need to add a subpanel. We will then select the best surge protector type for your needs and shut off the power to prepare for installation.
    2. Mounting: The next step is to mount the protector inside or near the electrical panel, depending on the type that is being mounted. If your protector type needs additional securing via brackets or drilling, we will finish the job by ensuring these are in place.
    3. Wiring: We will then connect the hot, neutral and ground wires to the dedicated circuit breaker panel. Proper grounding is absolutely essential for effective surge diversion.
    4. Breaker Installations: A dedicated breaker for the surge protector will then be installed. This breaker will be used as a conduit or pathway through which voltage can be diverted away from the home.
    5. Testing: The electrician will verify that there are no loose connections or wiring and that the surge protector is functioning efficiently.
    6. Power Restoration: Once testing is complete, we will restore power to your home.
    7. Inspection: To confirm compliance with local electrical codes, we will perform a final inspection of the surge protection device and clean up the installation area.
