The Right Way to Protect Your Expensive Electronics from Power Surges

The Right Way to Protect Your Expensive Electronics from Power Surges.

A power surge is when a sudden spike of electrical energy rushes through your system, causing outlets and circuits to become overloaded. When this happens, the electricity can force its way into any appliances or devices that are plugged into your outlets. Everything from smart TV's and refrigerators to the cell phones that are charging on your desk, could suffer irreversible damage. There have been many times, when businesses and homeowners have lost tens of thousands worth of electronics due to unexpected events. Are you concerned about whether your home is ready to defend itself against a power surge? Then call the licensed and insured Atlanta electricians at Mr. Electric. Our team of highly trained and experienced professionals are ready to inspect, repair, update or install all aspects of your property's electrical system to ensure you stay protected during lightning storms, power outages or other random fluctuations in your home's current. Call our office today for more information or to schedule an appointment with a reliable electrician in Atlanta, Georgia or the surrounding area.

Keep Your Outlets and Wiring Updated

The first step is to make sure that your home's electrical system is properly grounded and updated. Fifty-year-old wiring and outdated circuits are the fastest way to guarantee problems will occur in the event of a strong power surge. Not is a property susceptible to loss of electronics and appliances, but they also risk personal injury and property damage due to electrocution and electrical fires. If you have recently moved into an older home, or suspect that it's been years since your property has been inspected, call the professionals at Mr. Electric. Our team will make sure that your wiring and circuits are well maintained and ready for the demands of a modern household.

Whole House Surge Protections Provides the Most Comprehensive Solution

The absolute best solution for protecting a building from damage is whole house surge protection, also known as whole-house SPD's. Installing one on your property will make sure that every single item that's plugged into your electrical grid will be protected from a power surge. Using smaller devices are better than having no protection at all, but they will only work for individual items plugged into that single protected area. Most of the time, major appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, washer and dryers and heating or cooling units aren't given the same amount of thought as home computers and video game consoles. However, in an emergency, it is the larger appliances that will be the most financially devastating loss. While whole house surge protection may cost a few hundred dollars, it is a great investment considering just one major appliance is worth twice as much.
