Don't Let a Power Surge Shut You Down

Power surges are a very real danger if you haven't taken proper precautions. They can affect any wire in your home and damage all kinds of electronic devices. While you could opt for a mini-outlet surge suppressor from your local hardware store, it won't offer you the type of protection you need. Instead, choose something designed to withstand years' worth of power surges. The team at Mr. Electric of Lafayette can set you up with a whole house surge protector and explain how the device works. We're proud to have served so many home and business owners in Lafayette, Broussard, and Scott, LA, and our team would be glad to help you as well.

  • A power surge happens when there's a sudden increase in voltage exceeding the standard 120 volts. These instances can wreak havoc on your electronic devices, overheating their internal wiring and sometimes causing them to burn. All kinds of devices and appliances are susceptible, including computers, phones, televisions, stereos, and microwaves. Any other devices with microchips and circuitry are at an even higher risk of damage during a power surge. But never fear—damage can be prevented with whole house surge protection installation. Avoid the following effects on your electronics and request installation today:

    • Strain or damage them
    • Destroy their components
    • Diminish performance

  • Power surges can occur for any number of reasons. The main culprit, however, is operating heavy-duty electrical devices and putting a strain on your power source. Refrigerators, air conditioners, and clothes dryers may all demand more energy than your system can handle. Using more than one of these devices at a time can result in a power surge. In addition to heavy-duty appliances, power surges are also caused by the following:

    • Faulty electrical wiring
    • Downed or damaged power lines
    • Problems with the utility company, transformers, and other components
    • In rare cases, lightning

What Is a Surge Protector?

So, how can you avoid the effects of a power surge? The best method for keeping your electronics safe is whole house surge protector installation. However, too many homeowners opt for smaller store-bought surge protectors. These devices work by passing an electrical current from the outlet to devices plugged into a power strip. In the event of a power surge, the excess electricity is automatically diverted to another part of the power strip (the metal oxide varistors). While these easy-to-find power strips might offer some protection, they certainly don't provide the level of security that whole house surge protectors do.

  • At Mr. Electric of Lafayette, we help customers find the best whole house surge protectors for their needs. These devices are similar in function to standard power strips, but they're specifically designed to withstand years of power surges without issue. They protect all appliances receiving power from the electrical panel, keeping them safe from damage as the voltage fluctuates. If you're hoping to keep sensitive electronics safe, whole house surge protection is the way to go.
