Most people pay more than $1,000 per year to the power company for their electricity. But then, the power company wants to charge an additional fee of $350 to install a surge protection device on the back of the meter, which requires a separate trip by an electrician to your house. And, they give you a damage warranty that basically covers nothing. If the device is needed, why doesn't the meter come with the device already attached? And, if the device is effective, why doesn't the warranty cover anything? Does this make any sense to anyone?
