Surge Protection

Don’t let lightning knock your lights off or ruin your electronic appliances!

meter mounted surge protection

Every year, billions of dollars are lost because of lightning and power surges. If you want to save the investments you have in your home electronics, call Wayne-White Counties Electric Cooperative at (618) 842-2196 or stop by our office. We have a surge protection system for your home. Say “Good bye” to surges with our residential surge protection system. We have a meter-mounted surge protection unit  which protects against surges coming in through electric lines. While we believe it is one of the best protection units on the market, nothing is 100% effective and certainly lightning strikes can enter your home through coax cable from your satellite or antennae and also through telephone line, but this KENICK unit is very helpful for surges that roll through power lines. All of the units have a 15-year manufacturers warranty from KENICK. The meter base surge protector can be purchased and installed outright for just over $200 total. (Contact our office for the exact amount including tax.) This would also include us maintaining it for the 15-year warranty period.
