Surge Protection
Contact MCVK Electric Today
Take a look around your home or business right now and look at all of the devices that are plugged into electrical outlets. Chances are, you have many different items plugged in, including appliances, computers, televisions and other electronic devices. If a power surge occurs, meaning more voltage comes through the wires suddenly, this surge can damage or destroy the items plugged into an electric outlet. Electric surge protection helps to prevent that from occurring.
Surge Protection in Irving TX & All Surrounding Areas
One of the most common misconceptions about surge protection is that electricity surges only happen when the power goes out. While surges are most likely to occur when the power comes back on suddenly after the power has been out, surges can happen at any time. Having a surge protector installed can help protect all of your electrical items from being damaged if a power surge occurs. Here at MCVK Electric, serving Irving, Flower Mound and Frisco, Texas, our skilled electricians can help keep your electric items safe from power surges.
Why Is Whole House Surge Protection Beneficial?
Outlet and power strip surge protectors can protect specific outlets or specific items plugged into them. However, whole house surge protection offers more benefits than outlet and power strip surge protectors. Whole house protectors ensure every outlet in your home is protected against surges. Whole home surge protectors stop the surge directly at the electrical panel, which prevents the surge from going through your electrical wiring. This also helps to protect your electrical wiring as well.
What Causes Power Surges?
Power surges are not solely caused by electrical outages. Some of the most common causes for power surges include:
- Faulty wiring
- Electrical system overload
- Lightning strikes to power transformers
- Power being restored after a power outage
