Surge Protection

Surge Protection Service consists of two stages of surge protection. Stage one consists of a meter-base protector for major appliances with motors, such as your A/C compressor or refrigerator. Installation includes a free electrical grounding inspection and any necessary repairs. We own and maintain the meter-base protector. The second stage of surge protection consists of our premium plug-in suppressors. Even with our powerful protector, a small portion of surge can pass into interior wiring. This could prove deadly to sensitive electronics such as computers, TVs, phones and DVD players. Customers purchase and own the plug-in surge suppressors.
