Surge Protection

Surge Protection Service consists of two stages of surge protection. Stage one consists of a meter-base protector for major appliances with motors, such as your A/C compressor or refrigerator. Installation includes a free electrical grounding inspection and any necessary repairs. Progress Energy owns and maintains the meter-base protector. The second stage of surge protection consists of our premium plug-in suppressors. Even with our powerful protector, a small portion of surge can pass into interior wiring. This could prove deadly to sensitive electronics such as computers, TVs, phones and DVD players. Customers purchase and own the plug-in surge suppressors.

Retired employee discount

• $22.47 installation fee -- 50 percent off the regular $44.95 cost

• $4.95 monthly service fee  -- $1 off normal charge

• $10 off each plug in suppressor (prices range from $49 to $99)

HomeWIRE Service

HomeWIRE Service protects you against the steep costs associated with unexpected electrical repairs. If a problem arises, simply call Progress Energy's electrical experts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for prompt response. A licensed, Progress Energy-approved electrician will repair any covered item. Some common problems include: repairing or replacing main circuit breaker, interior wiring, outlets, and/or light switches. Over 13,000 repairs per year in the homes of customers just like you!
