Think you are protected? Think again. Many people falsely believe they are safe from power surges. However, the truth is that power surges, and the damage they cause, are more common than people believe.
In a survey of Okaloosa and Walton county residents, more than 50% of the respondents reported that they have received property damage as the result of a lightning strike.

Although nothing can protect you from a direct lightning strike, CHELCO can offer you the best protection available for the money.
How do we know it's the best? Because we tested it by simulating a lightning strike in a surge protection testing laboratory. Therefore, we can say with confidence that we can help protect your investment in appliances and electronics with our three steps to better surge protection. |
Meter-Based Unit
For protection of your motor-driven appliances, such as your washer and dryer, air conditioner, etc., we offer a meter-based surge protector. This unit hooks in behind your meter on the side of your home.
The surge protector is a leased unit and rents for $6.95 per month (which is added onto your monthly electric bill). Prior to installing the unit, a Surge Specialist will perform a Surge Evaluation of your home to make sure that your home is properly grounded and to check any existing surge protection you may already have. There is a $25 evaluation fee, but it also covers the cost of the installation as well.
For sensitive electronics such as your computer and television, you will need additional protection at the point of use. We offer quality point-of-use, or plug-in, protectors at affordable prices.
P.O.U. Protectors
We tested our P.O.U.s extensively in a lightning lab to make sure we were offering you the best possible protection for the price. All of our P.O.U.s are UL listed 1449
Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors in addition to being multi-staged and heat fused for your protection. The
MP0HT series has two outlets. However, you can add additional outlets without altering performance by plugging a power tap into the device.
