Power Surge Protection
While power strips are effective at stopping most in-house surges, they can be overwhelmed by surges that enter your home through the power line as a result of lightning. Whole house network protection is recommended for these more severe surges. Corn Belt Energy can install a meter-mounted surge protector on the exterior of your home for $175,00 which includes the cost of equipment, labor, and tax. E-mail Justin at justin.stuva@cornbeltenergy.com for more details.
Internally, a panel-mounted device installed near your circuit breaker box forms a second layer of defense. Commonly called a circuit panel or service entrance surge protector or a surge suppression device (TVSS), it will substantially reduce harmful surges entering your building and protect electrical equipment such as ranges, water heaters, washers and dryers, dishwashers and motors. A qualified electrician can ensure proper installation.
Corn Belt also offers the following point-of-use power strip outlets available for purchase:
- Single AC travelcube outlet with tel/modem protection: $10 each- Six AC outlet with coaxial and tel/modem protection: $25 each
- Eight AC outlet with coaxial, tel/modem, and ethernet protection: $40 each
