Summer is just around the corner. Our next guest wants to make sure that electrical problems won’t ruin all the planned fun. Here with more is Rusty Wise, president of Mister Sparky. “We are the largest consumer electrical franchise, offering premium residential services in over 100 cities across the United States,” says Wise. He adds: “We are experts in protecting homes from potential hazards, the company’s licensed electricians are highly trained and provide customers with installation, repair and replacement services quickly and reliably. Today we want to focus on generators and the importance of surge protection and water safety.”

There is nothing more annoying than having no electricity and not knowing when it will come back. This is especially concerning when the fridge and freezer are full of food that will spoil if the power is out for too long. We rely on electricity for so many things that even a short break can be quite inconvenient. There are many generator options, including fuel types and power ranges. The most reliable type of system is a wired system. Generators that are part of a wired system are the safest for both you and your family, as well as the line repair technicians. Improper use of generators causes electricity to flow back into power lines, which could prove fatal to those working to restore power. We can configure your wired system to turn on automatically or manually. We are seeing more and more homeowners in Charlotte, NC installing generators. In Mister Sparky by Wise Electric Control Inc. we can help you learn about generators and install them correctly. Be prepared for your next power outage in Charlotte by calling us for information about generators and professional, reliable installation. We sell “Generac” power generators.

Did you know that North Carolina has the second highest number of lightning deaths? Many storms are the result of the various hurricanes and tropical storms that come our way, and even though Charlotte, North Carolina is not on the coast, it still experiences lightning strikes. These storms are not only dangerous and pose a threat to human life, but also to the home and many electrical appliances. That’s why it’s so important to have surge protection. In Mister Sparky by Wise Electric Control Inc. we want to help you stop those sparks with installation whole house surge protection. You probably already use surge protectors for more critical appliances like TVs and computers, but replacing washers, dryers, refrigerators and dishwashers is quite expensive. also. These are the types of devices that cannot be treated with a surge-protected power strip, so they can only be protected with a whole-house surge protection system. This is a smart idea because newer devices have more computerized components and are therefore more likely to be damaged or have their life shortened by power surges, even those that occur at a utility with no clouds in sight. Whole-house surge protection systems must be installed by a licensed electrician. Depending on the situation, we will install a surge protector on the meter or on the electrical panel. For additional protection, you can still use surge protectors, which is advisable because today’s electronics are more sensitive to even small surges. DON’T RISK APPLIANCES AND ELECTRONICS IN YOUR CHARLOTTE HOME, PROTECT THEM WITH SURGE PROTECTION.

While there are general warnings about keeping electrical appliances away from water sources, this doesn’t always prevent unfortunate events. A growing problem in the U.S. is electrostatic discharge (electric shock drowning), which is almost always unintentional and preventable. In Mister Sparky by Wise Electric Control Inc. We want you to spend safe and enjoyable time in the water this year. The best way to ensure your pool and docks are free of live electrical wires is to schedule a free pool and dock safety inspection with us. If you’re getting ready for swimming season or getting your dock ready for boating this summer, be sure to schedule your free pool and dock safety inspection in advance. At Mister Sparky you can rely on us.
