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.

Keep Your Outlets and Wiring Updated

The first step is to make sure that your home's electrical system is properly grounded and updated.

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.
