A meter-based surge arrester—Installed by Beaches Energy Services—stops the surge at the meter, before it enters your home. It handles surges greater than plug-in suppressors, and provides customers with extra protection.
Am I Eligible?
Electric services exceeding 200 AMPS, 12s meters, meters contained in a meter bank (multiple meters—for example, condo or apartment complexes) are not eligible for surge suppression.
