Surge Protection Equipment

Surgemaster 3

Do you have surge protection equipment for your home and valuable electronics? Did you know that damaging surges could come from equipment in your own home? It's true. The vacuum cleaner and other motors can generate surges that can eventually destroy the circuitry of today's sophisticated electronic equipment. That doesn't mean you should quit vacuuming, it means you should install quality surge protection equipment available from Richland Electric Cooperative to protect your valuable electronics from surges generated "internally".

In addition "external" surges can enter your home from multiple sources including phone lines, cable TV and satellite equipment as well as power lines. It is important to protect all possible points of entry as a surge from an unprotected source could enter your home and cause damage to expensive equipment.

Whole House Protection

A whole house surge protector is designed to mount either on your meter base or on your breaker panel. It's designed to protect your "white appliances," which are considered to be the stove, washing machine, dryer, electric water heater, HVAC system, refrigerator and freezer. You still need additional protection on your satellite TV system, computer system, phone system, stereo system, etc. as they have additional points of possible surge entry.

Quality surge suppression equipment available from R.E.C. warranties the surge suppressor itself and, in addition, the equipment that is properly connected to it. In the event of damage to a surge suppressor, all you have to do is return the damaged unit to our office and we will replace it. The manufacturers of the surge protectors must handle claims for damage to properly connected equipment.
