Your home runs on sensitive electronics, and when an unexpected surge fries your fridge or knocks out your HVAC, you might be left wondering why your expensive appliances didn’t stand a chance. A lightning strike, a downed line, or a grid hiccup can create serious surges. Mr. Electric is here to help. We provide dependable whole house surge protector installation in San Jose, California. We’ll help you protect everything, from your Wi-Fi router to your washer and dryer. Read more to find out about power surge protection and why it’s one of the smartest electrical upgrades in San Jose you can make.
A whole-house surge protector is a device that’s installed directly into your home’s electrical panel. Unlike the small surge strips you use behind your TV or desktop, this kind of protection shields every circuit in your home. Every plug, every outlet, and every connected device will be well-defended because a surge will never reach it. These protectors respond in milliseconds to divert excess voltage safely to the ground. Whether the surge is internal, like when a large appliance kicks on, or external, like from a lightning strike, the surge protector acts fast to stop it from cooking your electronics. Internal surges happen all the time. You probably don’t notice them, but they add up and degrade devices slowly until one day your microwave or AC compressor just gives out. If you have a smart thermostat, an electric vehicle charger, a security system, or a fridge you’d like to keep running, then surge protection should be a priority.
Your home probably has dozens of vulnerable electronics with internal circuit boards. Those tiny components can’t handle a sudden spike in voltage. Once the damage is done, it’s usually irreversible and not always obvious right away. Common household items damaged by surges include:

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I recently received from your company. From my initial phone call to the completion of the repair, every aspect of the experience was exemplary. The representative I spoke with was not only incredibly helpful in scheduling an appointment promptly – my kitchen outlet had inexplicably stopped working, causing considerable inconvenience – but also demonstrated a thorough understanding of my situation. Their professionalism and efficiency immediately put me at ease. The electrician who arrived at my home was equally impressive. They took the time to explain the problem clearly and concisely, patiently answering all my questions despite my limited knowledge of electrical systems. This detailed explanation allowed me to fully understand the necessary repairs and the process involved. Their expertise and calm demeanor were truly reassuring. In short, I was deeply impressed by the overall professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness of every individual I interacted with. The entire experience was seamless and stress-free, a rarity these days. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone requiring electrical services, and I will certainly be using your services again in the future.
I finally made the switch from gas to electric and bought myself a Tesla. The home charger was expensive (I went with level 2) and called Mr Electric to do the install. They were overall great, came the same day to give me an estimate the price seemed reasonable so I went ahead and signed their work order on an iPad the gentleman had. They told me they could start the work the next day, that was unexpected but nice, as I am excited to be able to use my home charger finally. Once they finished the work they provided the permit information and all. I was very pleased and my charger is now in my garage working perfectly. Thank you Galen and Cris for prompt and professional service, that isn’t always the case and it is much appreciated.
My electric garage door stopped working suddenly after using it manually for a couple of weeks I was ready to buy a new one and called this company. They came the next day and were even able to supply the machine, that was a nice surprise. The electrician was friendly and I appreciate them making the whole experience easy. Great job
This company is great, they helped me when no other company I called could. I have been trying to install a few outdoor/indoor sconces on my patio, I called a couple of electricians they said that the way my townhouse was built they could not be installed. I was determined so I called Mr Electric & they came out the next day and explained that it would be a difficult install, but not impossible. In two days they had all three sconces up and running. They weren’t even expensive either, I was very impressed by them. If you have a hard or seemingly impossible job don’t give up like I almost did, give them a call.
What’s worse is that insurance doesn’t always cover these damages unless you’ve specifically added surge protection coverage, and extended warranties don’t usually include electrical failure caused by a spike in your grid. Whole house surge protectors earn their value because instead of replacing these appliances one at a time, you install a system that protects all of them at once.
Surge strips are useful for devices that are especially vulnerable, like computers, TVs, and entertainment systems, but they only protect what’s plugged directly into them. Many low-cost strips don’t last long, and few people replace them as often as they should. Roughly 60–80% of surges are internally generated. When your refrigerator compressor kicks on or your dryer starts up, it sends a mini surge through the lines. Over time, these tiny hits weaken sensitive electronics. Surge strips don’t help with that because the surge usually hits circuits that aren’t connected to strips. A power surge protection installation in San Jose solves that problem. It protects the entire home’s wiring system, regardless of where the surge begins.
If you’ve invested in appliances or smart home features, it’s time to protect that investment.
