Whole-House Surge Protector

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors are inexpensive insurance policies for expensive electronics and appliances that might be vulnerable in the event of a power surge. For example, if you have a large flat screen TV or an expensive computer game system, it’s worthwhile to purchase a surge protector so that the risk of it getting damaged is less. 

Grounding & Bonding

Grounding & Bonding

Grounding your electrical system is essential to protect you, your loved ones, and your electrical equipment from the dangers of high voltage. When a conductive surface, such as metal, isn’t appropriately grounded and becomes electrically energized or charged, it can send a strong enough electrical jolt to administer a dangerous shock.

Licensed and Certified Wire Grounding & Bonding Experts

Electrical grounding directs the excess of electricity to the ground through its grounding wire. Your grounding wire is an essential safety component in your electrical system. Grounding wires discharge excess electricity into the ground safely so that it doesn’t cause injuries, damage or electrical fire. If you aren’t sure whether your home’s electrical system is properly grounded or, if you have exposed wires, or if you’re concerned your grounding might be outdated, you should call MK Electric for professional help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to ground my wiring?

Suppose you care about safety or the law, yes! The NEC (National Electrical Code) requires all household electrical systems to be grounded. If that isn’t enough, think about the safety ground wire presents. Instead of an appliance discharging stored electricity to the ground, it would go directly to the next thing to complete the circuit – you!

What size generator do I need?

The generator size your home or building needs depends on what you want to have power in the event your electricity goes out. Size, when discussing generators, usually refers not to the physical size of the generator, but to its electrical capacity instead. For example, if you’ll want to keep your air conditioner, refrigerator, and television running simultaneously, you can determine the electrical capacity you’ll need by adding up the total watts of each piece of equipment to get the amount. Our generator installation experts here at MK Electric are happy to assist you with determining the size of generator you need.

Will a surge protector lower my electric bill?

Unfortunately, no, they don’t. Surge protectors act as gatekeepers, not as energy-saving products. The electricity that goes to your surge protector will already pass through your meter and be recorded to your account with your electrical service provider. Surge protectors, as such, are designed only to block surges in electricity.

Do backup generators need to be maintained?

All generators require periodic maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, to ensure maximum performance for years of reliable service. We recommend you have your unit serviced every six months. Refer to the owner’s manual for routine maintenance procedures and schedules. Schedule generator maintenance with MK Electric today!
