Surge Suppression Equipment

Every day, variations in voltage and frequency of electric current pass through electrical lines and into your home. These fluctuations can be caused by lightning or industrial and contruction accidents involving utility poles. Once inside, these fluctuations can cause damage to electronics found in many household products like home entertainment centers, personal computers, garage door openers, microwave ovens and more. Anything you own with a microchip is susceptible to damage.

That's why it's important to protect electronic equipment with surge suppression devices. Implementing the right protective measures will not only ensure that sensitive equipment functions properly but can extend product life as well.

PROTECTION AT THE ENTRANCE

Basic protection is provided with a round surge suppression device installed between your meter and the entrance to your home's electrical box. The basic package may be leased by the month for $3.00 plus a $12 installation fee -- or it can be purchased for $174.95 plus tax and $12 installation fee.

For maximum protection, all power, cable and telephone grounds must be bonded to the same grounding electrode system entering a building. This prevents potential ground voltage differences that may be seen across data, power and telephone lines connected to sensitive electronics.

In addition, all electronics such as TVs, computers, DVDs and telephones should be plugged into a quality surge suppressor at the electrical outlet.
