Surge Protection

From strong wind and lightning to construction mishaps, there are plenty of challenges to your home's electric equipment. Howard Electric Cooperative's Home Lightning surge Protection Program provides a two-stage sophisticated system that can make your equipment more dependable than ever before.

The first stage of our program is a meter base adapter installed outside your home. This unit is designed to provide a high degree of protection for home appliances such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and stoves. In some cases, the hard-wired device installed in a breaker panel by a qualified electrician may be necessary instead of a meter base adapter.

The second stage of Howard's Home Lightning Surge Protection Program is the use of various plug-in surge protection devices inside your home. These outlet strips protect more sensitive electronic devices like home computers, entertainment centers, and portable phones. You can purchase these strips from Howard Electric depending on your specific needs.

Together, these two stages provide the best protection available from electric disturbances from both outside and inside your home. In addition, all of the equipment used in Howard Electric's Home Lightning Surge Protection Program comes with a range of manufacturer's warranties in case of equipment failure or in the event a surge would get past the protective equipment.
