Electronic equipment in your home today is very complex and can also be expensive. If these items experience electrical disturbances at any time it may increase the likelihood for damage requiring repair costs, shorter life span of the unit or operating system, and even potential device failure.
Many of A&N Electric Cooperative’s residential members rely heavily on electronic devices and appliances in their personal and professional lives. SurgeAssist offers peace of mind that those valuable electronic items can be repaired or replaced in the event that they are damaged by a power surge.
Electronic equipment and appliance failure can be caused by short bursts of extra energy or brief periods of insufficient energy through the utility lines entering your home. These disturbances can be the result of the normal operation of electrical utility equipment, animals making contact with electric lines, lightning strikes, or weather-related problems. Since their invention, power systems have always had disturbances, also called transients, spikes or surges.
Spikes in the voltage of power coming to your home can enter through many different means: utility lines, satellite dishes, data lines, phone/cable lines, dog fences, irrigation systems, light poles, outside pumps, deep well pumps, septic tank pump switches, shallow well pumps, boating dock lifts, and other low voltage systems.

If these items experience potential electrical disturbances at any time it may increase the likelihood for damage requiring repair costs, shorter life span of the unit or operating system, and even potential device failure.

Members have the option to have a licensed electrician install surge devices beyond the meter at well pumps, HVAC units, and breaker boxes. By doing this you will increase the protection to your electronic-sensitive equipment. SurgeAssist offers additional financial protection against losses within the home of up to $2,000 of repair or replacement coverage (in a rolling 12-month period) for just $4.95 per month.
