Living in Millcreek means dealing with Utah's dramatic weather swings. We get those summer thunderstorms rolling down from the Wasatch Mountains, winter temperature drops that stress electrical systems, and enough wind to make you appreciate having a solid roof over your head.
Sure, these fluctuations mean you’ve got to have a versatile wardrobe… but it also means power surges that can destroy everything plugged into your walls. That new 75-inch TV in the living room and the computer setup where you work from home is vulnerable to voltage spikes that happen more often than you realize.
With a whole house power surge protector installation in Millcreek, Mr. Electric can help you protect your equipment, home, and household from electrical damage to electrical fires. Call Mr. Electric or continue reading to learn more.
Most people think power surges only happen during lightning strikes.
That's the dramatic version which can inject millions of volts into the electrical system, sure, but smaller surges hit your home dozens of times every week. These are just as concerning.
Downed power lines, transformer malfunctions, and utility company operations can all create surges powerful enough to destroy electronics in seconds. One moment everything's fine, and the next: your TV won't turn on and your microwave's control panel is dead.
Even when your AC unit kicks on or when your neighbor's heavy machinery starts up, minor voltage spikes can travel through the power lines. These mini-surges might not fry your electronics instantly, but they wear them down over time.
A whole house surge protector installation prevents these voltage fluctuations and spikes by redirecting that excess power to ground.
Unlike those power strips you buy at the store, a whole house surge protection installation is set up directly at your electrical panel. It protects every outlet, every light switch, every hardwired appliance in your entire home. When a surge tries to enter through the power lines, the system detects it instantly and diverts that excess voltage safely to ground.
With a whole house system, you don't have to remember to plug things into special outlets or worry about whether you have enough surge-protected power strips – or whether they’re even working. Everything in your house gets protected automatically, all the time.
A whole house surge protection installation in Millcreek is NOT appropriate for DIY work. A certified electrician in Millcreek must mount the surge protection device at your main electrical panel, connect it to your home's grounding system, and test that everything works correctly.
Purchasing a whole house surge protector is not as simple as buying eggs from the market. Surge protectors are rated by how much voltage they can handle. A qualified electrician can assess your home's needs based on size, the amount of sensitive equipment you own, and your risk factors.
The installation is even more sensitive. Working inside an electrical panel is dangerous and mistakes can create fire hazards or put your life at risk. Our professional power surge protector installation in Millcreek is done by the book, compliant with codes, and functions correctly.
Once installed, whole house surge protectors need minimal maintenance. Most units have indicator lights that show they're working properly. Some include alarms that alert you if the protection has been compromised.
You should check these indicators periodically, and promptly let an electrician know of any issues.
Whether you’ve got an existing protector that needs some attention or you’re interested in a new surge protector installation, the certified and uniformed electricians at Mr. Electric are here to help. Contact us to schedule an appointment or request urgent assistance today.

PRINTMitch and Cesar from Mr. Electric were so wonderful to work with. We had a tricky project for them that required a lot of scaffolding. They were able to troubleshoot and figure out how to make it work in order to get the job done. They were both so kind, friendly, and professional. I will certainly be using Mr. Electric again for any future electrician needs!
