| Worldwide, lightning strikes every 14 seconds, and when it occurs in our area it can cause significant damage to your home electronics. Many people don't realize there are other, more common causes of power surges that could also damage your expensive equipment. Surges can be caused by:
- lightning
- poor grounding or faulty wiring
- cycling on and off of large appliances in your home
- a practically infinite number of elements beyond our control (i.e. wind, ice, vehicle hitting a power pole)
Protecting your home, business or farm from damaging surges is important to Runestone Electric Association. This is why your electric cooperative installs lightning and surge arresters on the cooperative's electric distribution lines that deliver your electricity.
The cheapest way to protect your equipment is to disconnect it, especially during storms and power outages. However, this is impossible if you are not at home. That is why Runestone Electric carries quality surge protection equipment for members.
There are major differences in the quality of surge protection products being offered to the consumer today. Some devices are excellent, while others offer little protective value. That's because no government standards have yet been established for these devices.
The energy professionals at Runestone Electric have taken great care to ensure that the surge protection systems offered are of maximum quality and dependability. They are also backed by an excellent warranty provided by the manufacturer. Equipment of this quality is typically not available in retail stores.
Don't wait until you suffer a loss, protect your equipment today. Contact Runestone Electric Association at 762-1121 or 1-800-473-1722.
