Surge Protection
Surge Protection Program Benefits
- Protects valuable electronics and appliances from electrical damage caused by surges, lightning, faulty wiring, and various other electrical occurrences.
- Provides dual protection:
- Meter Socket Adapter (MSA): This is a plug-in device installed at the meter-base, which is designed to reduce high voltage spikes and surges to a manageable level.
- Plugstrips and modules: These are point-of-use protection devices for sensitive electronic equipment; such as, TV's, VCR's, computers, stereos, etc.
- Warranty coverage is available.
Requirements/Procedures
- Customers sign a five year lease agreement for the MSA. After five years, the agreement is automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis. A monthly lease charge of $6.00 will be applied to customers' monthly energy bills.
- Surge protection plugstrips and modules may be purchased at a one-time fee, plus tax. All plugstrips and modules are installed by consumers at the point of use.
- Per Homeguard warranty guidelines the electrical ohms at your meter must be checked prior to the installation of the MSA. If the electrical ohms are less than .24, a ground rod must be installed. The cost to install a ground rod is a one-time flat fee charge. This $15.00 charge will be added to your monthly energy bill.
