People's Electric Cooperative (PEC) wants to help make your life better by offering PowerShield which consists of 2 levels of protection: 1) at the meter base and 2) within the home in order to provide the ultimate in protection. 1022300200
The first line of defense against surges is a socket device installed at your meter base. This device is designed to reduce any potentially damaging external, high-voltage spikes and surges to a “safe” level before they enter your home via the power line.
Extra protection is provided by surge suppression devices installed at outlets within your home for sensitive electronic equipment. When installed properly, these devices will protect your equipment from surges through electrical wiring, telephone lines, and coaxial cables. Device warranties range from $250 to $50,000.
Equipment and warranty are provided by TESCO, a name trusted by cooperative customers throughout the United States.
Protect your home through this program for $4.95 per month and a 1-time installation fee of $50, with a 60-month lease agreement. *During March, the $50 installation fee is discounted to $25. No deposit is required for current PEC consumers who have received service during the most recent 24 months and have established good credit with the cooperative. The outside equipment remains the property of PEC; however, the devices inside the home are yours to keep.
Power surges are sudden powerful increases in voltage that can damage or destroy household appliances and electronic equipment. While lightning is dramatic in effect, it is by no means the only cause of power surges. Birds, animals, and trees interfering with powerlines, auto accidents involving utility poles, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and many other factors can cause momentary surges.
