Whole House Surge Protection for Homeowners in Mandeville, LA

Taking the Power Back With Mr. Electric

If you're not taking proper precautions, your electronic devices are at risk of damage from a power surge. Power surges can run along any wire in your home and put all plugged-in devices at risk. Many homeowners falsely believe adequate surge protection comes from cheap multi-outlet surge suppressors. While these might offer minimal protection, your home deserves something built to withstand multiple surges over the years. If you want true protection, look to the team at Mr. Electric of North Shore and Metairie. We offer whole house surge protection to our customers in Metairie, Covington, and Madisonville, LA.

  • Many of us have experienced a power surge, but do you know what a power surge really is? A power surge occurs when there's a sudden increase in voltage, substantially exceeding the standard 120 volts. When power surges, the wiring inside devices can overheat and even start to burn. Devices such as computers, televisions, phones, stereos, microwaves, and more are all at risk during a power surge. Electronic devices featuring microchips or circuitry are especially susceptible to damage during voltage fluctuations. The best way to protect your valued devices is through whole house surge protection installation from Mr. Electric of North Shore and Metairie. Power surges big and small can have the following effects on your electronics:

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

  • Operating heavy-duty electrical devices is one of the main causes of unexpected power surges. Appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and clothes dryers need a significant amount of energy to work, thus creating a heavy strain on the flow of electricity. Using many of these devices at once can disrupt the flow of voltage in the electrical system. Beyond heavy-duty appliances, power surges may also be caused by:

    • Poor electrical wiring
    • Downed or damaged power lines
    • Issues with the utility company, transformers, or other components
    • Lightning (rare, as it may increase electrical pressure by millions of volts at a time)

What Is a Surge Protector?

When you picture a surge protector, what comes to mind? Many people picture a power strip with multiple devices plugged in. Surge protectors like this work by passing an electrical current from an outlet to any devices plugged into the power strip. Should a power surge occur, the protector automatically redirects the extra electricity to the metal oxide varistors (MOV), another part of the power strip. For everyday use, a typical surge protector purchased at any big-box retail store will offer limited protection. However, the best way to protect your electrical devices is to invest in whole house surge protector installation. The team at Mr. Electric of North Shore and Metairie can help you explore your options and walk you through the cost.
