  • A power surge, in simple terms, is a sudden, significant increase in voltage that surpasses the standard flow of electricity in a system. This spike is transient, lasting for a very short period, often milliseconds, but its effects can be devastating. When the electric current surges beyond the safe levels, it can cause considerable harm to the internal mechanisms of plugged-in devices. This damage can range from reduced device efficiency and lifespan to complete and immediate device failure.

  • Several factors can contribute to power surges. External factors like lightning strikes are the most commonly recognized causes and are also the most potent. A single lightning bolt can produce an exorbitant amount of electricity, enough to overpower and destroy most residential electrical systems. However, other external causes, such as transformers malfunctioning or damaged power lines, can also lead to surges.

  • Furthermore, internal factors within the home can be just as consequential. High-power electrical devices like refrigerators and HVAC units can create surges in your home's electrical system when turned on or off. Over time, these repeated mini surges can degrade and wear out other electronics connected to the same system.

What is a Whole-House Surge Protector, and How Does it Work?

While most people are familiar with the power strips that provide limited protection to devices directly plugged into them, a whole-house surge protector operates on a more comprehensive scale. Installed directly into your home's main electrical panel, it acts as a sentinel, constantly monitoring and regulating the electrical flow into the house.

When it detects an unusually high voltage, the surge protector diverts the excess electricity safely into the ground, keeping the home's electrical system intact and averting potential damage. Offering this level of widespread protection ensures that every corner of your home, from the lighting fixtures to the living room's entertainment center, remains safeguarded against unexpected surges.

  • When the safety of your home and the longevity of your electrical devices are at stake, you deserve the best protection available. Mr. Electric of McKinney is at your service, offering top-tier whole-house surge protector installations. We also provide a range of other electrical safety solutions tailored to your needs, such as backup generator installations, GFCI outlet installations, electrical inspections, and more.
