These sudden increases in voltage can cause significant damage to electrical devices and appliances. Fortunately, there's a reliable solution: a surge protection installation. If you are interested in a whole house surge protection installation in Fayetteville, then continue reading or call Mr. Electric to consult with a certified electrician.
A surge protector is a device made to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes. These spikes, also known as surges, can occur due to various reasons, such as lightning strikes, power outages, tripped circuit breakers, and even large appliances cycling on and off.
When a surge happens, the surge protector either blocks or redirects the excess voltage to prevent it from reaching and damaging your electronic devices. It kind of is as simple as that.
Electricity is an incredibly powerful and volatile element, and electrical systems are complex enough in residential settings. In commercial environments, these systems become even more intricate…
Surge protectors usually work by directing excess voltage away from the devices connected to them. They use a component called a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV), which is designed to handle a sudden increase in voltage. The MOV redirects the excess energy to the ground wire, ensuring that only the appropriate voltage reaches your devices. This process happens almost instantaneously, providing practically immediate protection against power surges.
For those who work from home or rely heavily on electronic devices for storing important data, a power surge can be catastrophic. Power surges can damage or even destroy expensive devices such as computers, televisions, refrigerators, and HVAC systems. Power surges can even cause electrical fires if they overload the wiring in your home.
Even if the surges are not severe, repeated exposure to small surges can wear down the internal components of your electronics over time. A whole house surge protection not only protects your appliances, devices, and electronics, but it also helps maximize the lifespan of your things. Most importantly, a surge protector keeps your home or business safe from electrical fires, electrocutions, and other harm.
There are several types of surge protectors available, each suited to different needs:

Mr Electric came out and installed a Nest doorbell for us. The doorbell box upstairs had a loud buzzing noise which we figured had to do with the amps. The technician had us up and running in no time. Also offered some information and education on some future work we want to be done. All in all, he was clean, fast and friendly. I recommend him for any electrical work needed.
The technician they sent was an extremely knowledgeable and professional electrician. He was very responsive and prompt with our electrical remodel. The new lighting in the house is so much better than it was before. The electrician also pointed out some other electrical items that needed to be addressed to meet current code regulations. He finished all our remodel work in 2 days and then came back out to address our questions and issues. There are no words that express how satisfied we are with his work other than to say we highly recommend Mr. Electric. One of the most professional contractors I have ever worked with.
