What can go wrong and how much will it cost?
The diagram below shows the things that are likely to get damaged by an electrical power surge and how much it could typically cost to replace or repair these items. How would you cope if it happened to you? With UI’s HomeGuard® Whole House Surge Protection, you won’t have to worry about it.

How do I protect all these devices?

Any product that plugs into a wall outlet can easily be protected with a plug-strip or wall-mount surge protector. Larger devices such as appliances and "direct wired" equipment can be protected by a service entrance surge arrestor like those supplied through UI's HomeGuard Whole House Surge Protection Service.

A meter-based surge arrestor is installed directly behind the electric meter to stop power surges right at the point where electricity enters your home. While this sounds complicated and costly, it is actually quite simple and surprisingly inexpensive in consideration of the amount of protection provided. This is also an excellent way of improving the overall protection of the point-of-use protectors.

By eliminating the bulk of the power surge at the service entrance, the plug-in surge protectors at the outlet are able to do a better job and eliminate more of the disturbance.
