  • To protect your valuable electronic devices against the harmful effects of power surges, it's essential to understand what constitutes a household power surge. A power surge occurs when there's an abrupt increase in voltage, often exceeding the typical 120 volts. This sudden spike can result in overheating and potentially damage the internal wiring of your devices. In our technology-driven world, a range of items — including TVs, computers, microwaves, stereos, smartphones, and numerous other essential gadgets — are at risk. Many of these devices contain microchips or circuits that are especially susceptible to voltage fluctuations. The best way to safeguard your electronics is by installing whole-house surge protection with Mr. Electric of Greenville. Even a small power surge can lead to the following issues:

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

  • Once you understand power surges, it's important to identify what causes them. A common factor is the operation of high-powered electrical devices. Appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and laundry dryers, which use a large amount of electricity to start their motors or compressors, significantly impact this problem. These powerful machines create substantial strain on your household electrical system, disrupting the consistent voltage available to all the electronics and fixtures in your home. Below, we've listed several potential causes of power surges:

    • Downed power lines
    • Faulty wiring setups
    • Issues related to the utility provider's infrastructure, including lines and transformers
    • Although rare, lightning strikes can cause power surges that elevate electrical pressure to millions of volts, exceeding the protection limits of even top-tier surge protectors available today.

Safeguard Your House With a Surge Protector

When homeowners think of surge protectors, they often picture a power strip filled with various gadgets. A surge protector works by directing electrical current from an outlet to all plugged-in devices. In the event of a surge or spike that surpasses a certain level, the surge protector reroutes excess electricity to components known as metal oxide varistors (MOVs). While standard power strips found at retail stores may seem cost-effective, they offer minimal protection for your valuable electronics and usually need replacement after just one surge occurrence. To optimally protect your electronic assets, we strongly recommend investing in a comprehensive whole-house surge protection system from the team at Mr. Electric of Greenville.

  • Whole house surge protectors operate like less expensive models, but these high-end versions are designed to withstand numerous power surges over the years. They protect every device and appliance linked to your electrical system, ensuring a reliable power supply. Investing in whole house surge protectors is the best way to shield your valuable appliances and sensitive electronics from damage due to electrical surges. If you're interested in how to install whole house surge protectors, it's wise to leave the job to our experienced electricians. Mr. Electric of Greenville offers installation services for residents in and around Greenville, SC.
