Program details
How it works
IPL offers a whole-house surge protector to residential customers for protection against surges entering the home through electric power lines. IPL installs the surge protection device behind the outside electric meter and leases it to the homeowner on a monthly basis.
What the money covers
The device detects surges and redirects them to ground. The page says the IPL program protects only against surges through the meter, not surges through cable, telephone, or satellite wiring. It also notes that point-of-use surge protectors should be used for other wiring types.
