Arming your home with a breaker panel surge protector is your first line of defense against such occurrences. This is the one item that can help prevent serious issues from happening, especially on items that are not or cannot be protected by plug strips. Items such as: Flat Screen TVs, Refrigerators, Washers, Dryers, and any and all other electronics not on a plug strip could be in serious danger of disrepair. Unexpected voltage spikes, surges and other electrical disturbances can ruin or severely damage computers, VCRs, televisions, fax machines, scanners and copiers, disrupt satellite signals, degrade the performance of audio/video components, and wreak havoc with telecommunications systems.

A typical lightning strike can cost a homeowner anywhere between $5,000.00 and $20,000.00 in replacements and/or repair. Something as simple as a whole house Surge Suppressor can prevent this, but do not think that all you need to worry about is lightning. There are a multitude of factors that can cause a surge in your electrical systems. Anyone working on a transformer in your neighborhood, a neighbor having their underground service replaced, new construction in your area, or any work being performed by Center Point  can cause an electrical disruption or surge in your home.

As we mentioned before, Center Point holds NO responsibilty to any damage they may cause to your home or business due to an electrical outage or surge; they will leave you with no one to turn to in terms of reimbursement. If this scenario happens, you’re basically on your own. Being proactive is your best bet to protect both your belongings and your wallet.
