Luckily, a whole house power surge protector installation can shield your property from these potentially disastrous electrical events. Continue reading or call Mr. Electric to learn more about how a surge protector can protect your home or business in Pflugerville, TX.
A power surge is a sudden and brief increase in voltage that exceeds the normal level of electricity flowing through your system. While most electrical devices run smoothly with the standard 120 volts, power surges can increase this voltage to 1,000 volts or more and overload sensitive components in your electronics or appliances. These surges typically happen in an instant, but their effects can last much longer. When you think of a power surge, the first image that might come to mind is a lightning strike. There are other causes to note, however. Power grid issues, large appliances turning on and off, and old or damaged wiring can also cause power surges in your home or business.
While a surge can last only a fraction of a second, its potential to destroy sensitive electronics is immense. A surge might fry the circuit board of your TV, computer, or microwave in an instant. This can lead to costly repairs or replacements.

PRINTI was exceptionally impressed by the professionalism of Mike Ward and his able assistant Willie. They did an exemplary job and even offered a complete inspection of my circuit breaker boxes. Needless to say, I look forward to having them return for some future projects before year's end!
