While most people first think of lightning strikes when they hear the words, power surges come in all sizes. Whether it's due to appliances cycling on-and-off, a downed power line, maintenance work at the utility center, or a lightning strike hitting head-on, the consequences of voltage spikes is costly at best and fatal in the worst case.
Responsible homeowners and business managers understand the risks and take precaution. Perhaps the best defense is a whole house surge protector installation at the electrical panel where electricity enters the home.
If you’re looking for a uniformed and certified electrician in the area to handle your surge protection installation, then contact the time-tested professionals at Mr. Electric. As a licensed and insured company, Mr. Electric is proud to back quality service with a 1-year workmanship guarantee.
Sure, lightning strikes are devastating; everyone's aware that lightning can fry electronics. But here's what catches people off guard: lightning causes less than 5% of damaging power surges. The other 95% come from everyday sources, and 80% of power surges originate from within the building.
Your AC unit kicks on – surge. A car hits a utility pole nearby – surge. Someone down the street starts up heavy equipment – surge. Rocky Mountain Power switches loads at a substation – surge.
These voltage spikes happen dozens of times every week, and each little surge chips away at circuit boards, weakens components, and shortens the lifespan of everything electronic in your home. Eventually, something fails and you're replacing expensive equipment that should have lasted years longer.
Most South Jordan homes and businesses have $40,000 to $60,000 or more in surge-vulnerable equipment. Think HVAC systems, computers, refrigerators, washing machines, smart home devices, entertainment systems, security systems, and so on.
When major surges hit, they don't just damage one device. They travel through your entire electrical system and fry multiple things simultaneously. It could take out your TV, computer, refrigerator control board, HVAC system, and electrical wiring all at once.
Even if homeowners insurance covers the replacement cost, you're dealing with deductibles, claims processes, and the headache of coordinating repairs and replacements. Meanwhile, you’re living without essential appliances and devices.
Power strips with surge protection are better than nothing, but they only protect what’s plugged directly into them – and they’re not going to withstand voltage on the higher end of the spectrum. Hardwired equipment and systems are especially vulnerable.
As its name suggests, a whole house surge protection installation in South Jordan offer comprehensive coverage as it is installed at the electrical panel where electricity enters your building. It protects outlets and switches as well as hardwired systems like HVAC, entertainment, and security systems.
Moreover, a whole house surge protector is designed to absorb a lot more voltage than a power strip can possibly take. Residential whole house surge protectors typically handle 50,000 to 80,000 joules; that’s massively more than power strips that top out around 400 to 1,000 joules.
Why Homeowners and Businesses Choose Mr. Electric
The effectiveness of your power surge protector installation in South Jordan is only as great as the quality of installation.

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!
