Protect Your House Against Power Surges

All it takes is one large power surge to ruin your expensive electronic devices such as your computer, big screen TV, fridge, or AC along with more. Power surges are one of the most severe and common dangers to today’s sensitive electronic equipment. Power strip surge protectors are not designed to absorb a large surge caused by an external force like lightning strikes or damaged power lines. If an electrical surge were to happen to you today, how much money would you be okay with losing? Make sure you lose NO money while keeping your home safe and sound by installing ONE surge protector that would protect your entire house.

Why you ask?
  • A plug-in surge protector can only protect your valuable electronics when a large appliance turns on or off.
  • Sit back and relax after an electrical surge while your neighbors pay for an electrician to replace the microprocessors in all their electronic devices.
  • Insurance for you electronics instead of having to buy brand new equipment. 
  • An inexpensive way to make your house worth more or stand out on the market.
  • Don’t worry when the next time a lightning storm occurs or the next power surge takes place in your area
  • Not being protected can threaten fax and answering machines, televisions, satellite systems, computers, and modems which can cause lost work and stop you from calling someone if something went on fire.
How does it work? When high voltage is detected and a power surge is about to occur, the excess voltage is immediately diverted to a ground wire until voltage levels return to normal preventing any damage possible to your home.

Defective wiring is the leading cause of residential fires, according to a 2009 study by the National Fire Prevention Association. If you don’t know the condition of your wiring, it’s worth paying a licensed electrician at Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay to inspect your electrical system.
