Surge Protection
When it comes to electrical surges, Mother Nature has a "Thing" for
North Carolina. North Carolina experiences the second highest number
of lightning strikes in the United States. Here's where you can
learn how to protect your home and sensitive electronic equipment.
The Outer Banks of North Carolina is a unique environment. Because
of its uniqueness, the area also is susceptible to damaging electrical
surges. Surges are caused by a variety of events. The most common is
lightning, but birds, animals, and automobiles can cause damaging surges as well.
To help protect your appliances, sensitive electronics, and heating
and cooling systems CHEC is offering the PowerGuard Program.
PowerGuard includes a surge device installed at your meter base that
suppresses external surges before they reach your valuable appliances.
Surges within your home may be a result of the switching on and
off of heavy equipment or large motors. The meter base unit
protects against external surges.
To sign up for the PowerGuard meter base program, visit or call
our office at (252) 995-5616 or (800) 454-5616 to speak with a
Customer Service Representative.
