"REVIEW: A-Lite Install of Security Camera System We had a 4K Five Camera Lorex Security System installed on the outside of our one-story house. In addition to the exterior cameras, the system included a NVR which provided the capability to store the data locally and to view the camera outputs on our 4k TV as the display, and over the internet on our mobile phones, as well as store the data locally on a 2TB recorder. A-lite Electric did the installation. At the start before receiving the bid, a Tech came out to carefully look over the house, including: the location of the cameras, the attic in which the cables would be run and the in-house location of the NVR and display. During our discussion I mentioned an area inside the attic which was difficult to traverse because of the location of a fragile heating duct. He determined that it would not be a problem. Two techs did the installation. They were knowledgeable, careful, helpful, and through. To insure waterproofing, they secured the cameras beneath the eaves, applying caulk to the camera base where it attached to the rough exterior stucco walls and to where the cables passed through the outer house walls. In the interior, they ran the many cables required through a cord cover kit that looks like it was part of the house and is hardly noticeable. Cables were also run through the attic from the NVR to the TV and so that the system could be set up, viewed and controlled from that location--all holes were caulked The techs helped to adjust the cameras to cover the desired areas and the system as displayed on the TV worked beautifully covering the desired exterior areas. We couldnâ  t be happier with the installation by the techs from A-lite, and the resulting performance of the security system."

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs

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.
