First Stage of Protection: Meter-Based Surge Protector

Meter-Based Surge Protector
Effectively protecting major appliances such as air conditioning compressors, washers, dryers and refrigerators from damaging surges, the meter-based surge protector is the first stage of protection.

Don't overlook the first and most important stage of surge protection -- the Meter-Based Protector

Progress Energy leads the industry by providing our customers with one of the most effective surge protection systems available. We use only the highest quality surge protection equipment and install it as a coordinated layered or staged system.

 The heart and first stage of this surge protection system is the meter-based protector. This device provides the first stage of high-energy protection at the meter or main disconnect.

The meter-based protector is owned and maintained by Progress Energy and installed behind our electric meter. There is a monthly maintenance fee of $5.95, plus tax, after a one-time installation fee of $44.95. Installation includes a free outdoor electrical grounding inspection and any necessary repairs.  For your convenience, the monthly fee is added to your electric bill.  For more information on our meter-based or plug-in protectors, please contact us.
