Keeping You Safe

Did you know that Southwest Florida is the lightning capital of the world? With nearly 1.2 million lightning strikes per year, you run the risk of electrical surges with every storm. You can lessen your risk of damage to appliances, televisions, lighting fixtures, and your air conditioning system with a whole house surge protector.  A surge protector has a filter, allowing all safe electrical currents in, and preventing all irregular voltage from having an impact on your power utilities. By doing so, it protects all electrical items in your home. It is installed adjacent to your main breaker. In some cases, your main breaker may be installed outside next to your meter while in other cases your main breaker will be installed in your electrical panel. Over time, a whole house surge protector is much more cost-effective than the Surge Shield program offered by FP&L.

On Call Electric offers the best surge on the market, the Siemens  FS-140. It can take a current inrush of 140,000 AMPS. This unit has indicator lights so you know it's working. We also offer Tripp-Lite local surge protection for your TV's and other sensitive electronics.
