Have you considered the benefits of having a professional electrician install whole-house surge protection in Overland, MO? Power surges can happen when the electrical flow stops and restarts suddenly, delivering too much power to the home’s electrical system. When this occurs, the jolt of electricity can fry wiring and damage any plugged-in appliances.
At Potts Electric, we encourage homeowners to consider the peace of mind a whole-home surge protector offers. As you read further, you’ll learn more about the benefits of professional surge protection installation and why it’s one of the best home investments you can make.

Many households use power strips with built-in surge protection and feel confident they’re protecting their appliances and other devices adequately. However, surge protection power strips don’t offer nearly the same level of protection as a whole-home surge protector.
When you install a surge protector for your entire house, you can expect all of the following:
Protection for appliances and other electrical devices
Prevention of damage to your electrical system
Greater longevity for your electronics
A safeguard against home fires
Power surges occur when electrical power exceeds household voltage capabilities. The operational voltage level for a standard household is 120 volts. Power surges and spikes can vastly exceed this level, and they can cause severe damage to your appliances and electronics that lack protection. These spikes in energy can also cause electrical fires.
People often associate power surges with lightning strikes or the resumption of power after an outage. While those instances do cause power surges, faulty wiring, transformer problems, and electrical overload (too many appliances or devices drawing power from a single circuit) can also cause voltage spikes.
Power surges happen more frequently than you realize. Most people don’t know their homes have experienced a power surge because it’s often more subtle than expected. The damage, however, can be cumulative. Symptoms of frequent, unrecognized power surges include equipment reaching the end of its life span too soon and circuit breakers tripping constantly.
