Residential Surge Protection in Chelmsford

When your home experiences a power surge, it means your electrical current is spiking. Even if this lasts briefly, it can cause immediate damage to the appliances attached to electrical outlets, as well as your home.

If your home suffers regularly from power surges, calling a licensed electrician to install a single outlet surge protector or whole house surge protector, can help to protect your electrical system.

Wagner General Electric Inc is skilled in surge protection installation, starting with choosing the right surge protector or protectors for your home. Every one of our Chelmsford clients have different needs, and it’s up to us to figure out how to meet those needs!

Whole House Surge Protector Installation

There are four types of surge protectors. Type one and two cover your entire home, while type three and four are single point protectors that cover specific outlets.

In many cases, it is recommended that a home be outfitted with more than one type of surge protection as each protector covers specific surge causes.

Type one protectors protect against external power outages. They are especially useful in the case of lightning strikes and storms.

Type two protectors protect against internal outages. They limit voltage, and protect electronics that are sensitive.

Single Outlet Surge Protector Installation

Type three and type four surge protectors are used for specific outlets that are affected by power surges. You might also know type three surge protectors as power strips. A multi-use bar that gets plugged in to one outlet, and can accept two-prong plugs, three-prong plugs, and USBs.

Type four surge protectors are similar but are most often used for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Choosing the Right Surge Protector

Choosing the right surge protector can seem like a complicated process. If you don’t choose the best option for your home, you can risk repeat surges and will have wasted a lot of money on a system that doesn’t work.

Rely on Wagner General Electric Inc to determine exactly what type and how many surge protectors are needed for your electrical system. You could be looking at an isolated single outlet plan, whole house protection, or a combination of both.
