Post Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving Southwest Missouri, has enhanced its residential electrical services to address increasing concerns about power surge damage in homes throughout the region. The expansion of surge protection installations comes as homeowners face growing risks from severe weather events and the proliferation of sensitive electronic devices requiring safeguarding.
The Southwest Missouri-based electrical contractor has reported a significant uptick in requests for whole-home surge protection systems over the past year, prompting the company to expand its expertise and equipment capabilities in this specialized area. The enhancement positions Post Electric to better serve homeowners seeking to protect their investments in appliances, HVAC systems, and electronic devices from potentially devastating power surges.
"Homeowners are becoming increasingly aware that a single lightning strike or power grid fluctuation can cause thousands of dollars in damage to their electrical systems and connected devices," said Ryan, lead electrician at Post Electric. "We have expanded our surge protection services to provide comprehensive solutions that protect entire homes, not just individual outlets or devices."
As a Post Electric Residential Electrician team member explained, the company now offers multi-tiered surge protection strategies that include whole-home suppressors installed at the main electrical panel, along with point-of-use protectors for particularly sensitive equipment. These systems work together to divert excess voltage away from home electrical systems, preventing damage that can result from both external and internal power surges.
The expansion comes at a critical time for Southwest Missouri residents. Recent data from insurance providers indicates that power surge-related claims have increased by nearly 30 percent in the region over the past three years, with average claim amounts exceeding $4,000 per incident. Many of these surges stem from severe thunderstorms common to the area, as well as issues with aging power grid infrastructure.
Post Electric Electrical Wiring specialists have undergone additional training to ensure proper installation of modern surge protection devices that meet current National Electrical Code requirements. The company's technicians evaluate each home's specific vulnerabilities, considering factors such as the age of the electrical system, proximity to power lines, and the types of electronics and appliances present in the residence.
The enhanced service offerings include comprehensive electrical system assessments, installation of Type 1 and Type 2 surge protective devices, and ongoing maintenance programs to ensure continued protection. The company also provides education to homeowners about best practices for minimizing surge risks, including proper grounding techniques and the importance of regular electrical system inspections.
