Behind-the-Meter Protection Available Only From UI

The Crisis: What if a storm carrying lightening is heading your way? You know dangerous power surges can travel over power, cable and phone lines, so what will you do?

The Solution: There’s no desperate attempt to unplug appliances and electronic devices that are valuable to you – UI’s meter-based surge arrestor diverts power surges safely to ground and away from your home.

The Added Protection: No need to wonder if those “No Name” plug strips gathering dust behind the TV or computer will do the job. HomeGuard’s advanced plug-in surge protectors alert you if they’ve been damaged.

The Relief: Your valuable major appliances and home electronics are protected – backed by HomeGuard’s Product Replacement and Connected Equipment Warranties*, leaving you safe from the storm.

3-Way Protection

  1. Diverted at the meter - A meter-based surge arrestor, available only from UI, easily handles high voltages from major power surges right at the point where electricity enters your home.
  2. Diverted from the inside - Advanced surge protector plug strips provide an additional level of protection for sensitive electronic components, while guarding against surges that can travel over phone and cable lines.
  3. Warranty Coverage - If a power surge does somehow damage your major appliances protected by the meter-based surge arrestor or your home electronics plugged into the advanced surge strips, you’re covered.

To set up this essential protection, simply sign up online or call toll-free 1-877-44-SURGE (877-447-8743). The monthly service fee will be billed to your UI account.
