Installation of Home Surge Protectors in Oklahoma City, OK

Power surges can strike at any time, especially in areas like Oklahoma City, where seasonal storms and utility issues are common. At Mr. Electric of Oklahoma City, we help homeowners protect their property and electronics with whole house surge protectors designed for today’s connected lifestyles. Below, we’ve answered common questions from local residents in Oklahoma City, Bethany, Yukon, Piedmont, and beyond about whole house surge protection and how it can keep your home safer.

No, surge protectors are not designed to reduce energy usage. Their purpose is to prevent voltage spikes from damaging your appliances and electronics. While they don’t impact your utility bill, they can help you avoid expensive replacements and repair costs caused by sudden electrical surges.

Yes, a properly installed whole house surge protector at the panel can offer broad protection. However, surges can enter your home through multiple paths, including cable and phone lines. While the surge protector blocks voltage from continuing past the panel, it won’t stop surges that hit before the panel or travel through connected lines. For full protection, we may recommend layered defense across key points in your system.

The average unit we install is compact — about the size of two decks of playing cards. Despite its small footprint, this device offers powerful, whole-home protection. During your consultation, we recommend the right whole house surge protection system based on your electrical panel and home layout.

Yes. Most of the whole house surge protection services we provide include a manufacturer-backed warranty. These typically cover both the surge protector and connected appliances — with protection levels ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 per occurrence. We encourage all customers to review the warranty details that apply to their specific system, but remember: the best protection is having the surge device in place before any damage occurs.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) help maintain power during outages but don’t offer full surge protection. Many UPS units only protect against basic power loss and have limited ability to block high-voltage surges. They also don’t guard communication lines or network connections, which are just as vulnerable. Installing surge protectors for the whole house adds another layer of security that UPS systems alone can’t provide.

Yes, absolutely. Modern electronics are more sensitive than ever, and just one surge can cause thousands in damage. Even if your home has never experienced an issue, it only takes one incident to harm computers, TVs, appliances, and HVAC systems. With today’s smart homes relying on integrated technology, whole house surge protection is more important than ever. Our team can evaluate your need for surge protectors for whole house use.

Even in areas with minimal lightning activity, electrical surges can happen from other sources — such as downed power lines, transformer malfunctions, or utility switching. One lightning strike is enough to damage every connected device in your home. Investing in whole house surge protection installation gives you long-term peace of mind at a much lower cost than repairing or replacing damaged equipment.
