"We reached out to Dead Electric for a quote on adding an outdoor receptacle after receiving an outrageous quote from a large electric company. Steve was able to give a quote by phone for a fraction of the cost! Steve was incredibly prompt, professional, and did a phenomenal job! He was down to earth, kind, honest, and didn’t pull any gimmicks, upsells, or hidden fees like so many large companies do. The finished product is high quality and it’s been so nice to be able to have an outdoor outlet. I could not recommend Dead Electric enough and have told all of my friends to reach out to him if they need an electrician. We plan to rewire our house in the future and will contacting Steve for the job! I would give 10 stars if I could!!!"

"Justin was very professional and was on time to my house for the work in my kitchen. He did a great job and listened to my concerns and questions and was great at explaining his work. He was fast and clean and made everything to code. I cant say enough about how well this small kitchen rewire was done. His price was fair and I definitely feel my money went to the right company. The work performed was in a timely manner and i didnt have to guess with what was done. Everything I asked to be completed or wanted done was addressed with a high level of professionalism. I had a good time with Justin and his work shows he cares about his customers. I felt like all my concerns and questions were answered. If you are looking for quality electrical work then you should do yourself a favor and contact Justin today. He is now my go to electrician for all my work in my home."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Athens, AL

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
