Surge Protectors
Surge Protectors
In today's technology-driven world, our homes and businesses are filled with sensitive and expensive electronics. Unfortunately, they are all vulnerable to a hidden threat: power surges. A sudden spike in electrical voltage can instantly fry circuits, erase data, and cause thousands of dollars in damage. While most people rely on small, multi-outlet surge protectors, these only offer limited protection. At American SC, we provide comprehensive surge protection solutions to safeguard your entire Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, property from this common and destructive problem.

The Invisible Threat of Power Surges
A power surge is a momentary increase in electrical voltage, far beyond the standard 120 volts required for most devices. These surges can be caused by a variety of factors, both internal and external. External surges are often the result of lightning strikes or utility company work, sending massive voltage spikes through your electrical lines. Internal surges, which are far more frequent and often go unnoticed, are caused by high-powered appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines turning on and off. While these internal surges are smaller, their cumulative effect can degrade the performance of your electronics over time, shortening their lifespan and making them more susceptible to catastrophic failure from a larger surge.
Why Whole-Home Surge Protection is Essential
Standard surge protector strips are an excellent first line of defense for individual devices, but they are not designed to protect your entire electrical system. A whole-home surge protector, professionally installed at your main electrical panel, acts as the ultimate guardian for your home's entire electrical infrastructure. It diverts excess voltage directly to the ground, preventing it from ever reaching your valuable electronics. This single device provides protection for everything connected to your home's electrical system, including your home's wiring, hard-wired appliances, and other vital systems that are not plugged into a traditional surge strip.
Our Surge Protection Services
At American SC, we specialize in providing reliable and professional surge protection services tailored to the specific needs of your home or business. Our certified electricians will assess your property and recommend the best surge protection solution to meet your needs and budget.
Whole-Home Surge Protector Installation
We offer expert installation of high-quality, whole-home surge protectors. Our technicians will safely and efficiently integrate the device into your main electrical panel, ensuring that it is correctly grounded and provides maximum protection. We use only top-of-the-line products from trusted manufacturers, guaranteeing durability and performance.
Surge Protector Inspection and Maintenance
Like any electrical component, surge protectors have a finite lifespan. They can wear out after absorbing many smaller surges or a single major one. Our team can perform regular inspections to ensure your system is still functioning correctly. We will test the device and, if necessary, recommend a replacement to keep your property fully protected.
Electrical System Assessment
We can perform a comprehensive assessment of your entire electrical system to identify potential vulnerabilities and recommend additional safety measures. This includes checking for proper grounding, inspecting wiring, and ensuring all circuits are up to code. This proactive approach can prevent future electrical issues and enhance the overall safety of your property.

Kim T
Had an issue with guest shower. Jason responded timely on first contact and we scheduled an appt. He arrived a half hour early (!). Assessed the situation and explained the needed work in detail. He replaced a few parts and issue was resolved. He was polite and friendly. I would highly recommend!
Ryan L
We have had two different electricians to fix an ongoing problem with some fans, tripping outlets & breakers. With one swift call to Jason he was able to not only identify the problem right away, he was fast, professional and immediate on the solution. Although we hope not to need him anytime soon - he will ALWAYS be our first call from now on! Thank you Jason for treating us like family !
