Improved Homes

All of us in South Carolina - especially in the coastal areas - live in a region highly susceptible to power surges - peaks of electricity caused by lightning, or accidents involving utility poles or power lines. Though not always noticeable, power surges damage household appliances and valuable electronic equipment.

With the Surge Alert Level I and Level II Protection Program, you get two lines of defense against power surges.

Surge Alert Level I protection is an external, meter-based device that suppresses (clamps) the excess electrical voltage that comes directly through the power lines. This device helps prevent the damaging surge from entering your home through your meter.

Level I Surge Protection Service

Surge Alert Level II protection is high performance surge protectors that work to prevent surges from entering your home through cable, telephone, or antenna lines. Level II must be purchased for the protection of your electronic equipment. Level II devices attach directly to the outlets inside your home.

Please Note: Level II protectors cannot be purchased without subscribing to Level I Service from Santee Cooper.

It should also be noted that nothing can prevent damage from direct lightning strikes and Santee Cooper cannot guarantee that damage may never occur. But with the Surge Alert Level I and Level II Protection Program from Santee Cooper in place, you can rest a lot easier inside your home, no matter what's going on outside.
