Default Progress Energy Meter Base Protector
We just received a letter about a "Meter Base Protector" from Progress Energy.
My initial reaction is to turn them down and save $5.95 plus tax a month.
The underground power lines are not a great target for lightening strikes.
I have a bird cage, pool, and solar pool heater that seem like lightning targets.
Is there separate lightning insurance that we should buy?
What happens if we get struck and the AC is fried?
Does anyone have any insurance claim stories that they would care to share?
Thanks
