"As a private real estate investor, we have a lot or properties and hire a lot of contractors. CJ electric was outstanding. He did what was asked, took care of the permits and took care of the project without us having to oversee him. He also a needed trust factor as we did this project by communicating from afar. Truly a pleasure to work with someone like this."

"I had interviewed several contractors, and all of them refused to do the project due to the extensive work involved in getting the electrical wiring from the front of my townhome over to the side where the generator was to be located. Ben Rinker Electrical Contracting/BR Electric knew exactly how to accomplish this task. There is no comparison between Ben Rinker and other electrical contractors -- Ben Rinker is head-and-shoulders above them all. If you want the job done right, Ben Rinker/BR Electric is the contractor of choice. Everything is carefully planned out and implemented, and work is done with permits/inspection, etc. The Team of workers are professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. This company knows what customer service is all about -- they aim to please and want their customers to be happy and satisfied with the quality of their work. Highly Recommend!!!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Wilkes Barre, PA

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.
