Will your service protect all appliances with Motherboards such as TV2s, refrigerators, electric ranges. dishwashers and computers. etc? How about irrigation equipment, exterior cable, motem routers, antennas or any other devices that is connected to outside sources.
When I asked the power generating companies, they said no. Why spend the money monthly to protect iron, toaster or other basic low priced appliances.

This very thing happened to us. GFI went bad and we didn’t notice until we had to deal with the smell.

Lost lots of food.

This weekend we are expecting lots of rain and wind gusts. We have received lots of calls at Pike's Electric regarding GFI tripping issues mainly from Christmas decorations and lights from possibly overloading the circuit or the dampness/moisture on the circuit. We highly suggest through the weekend that you prepare your exterior decor and lights for this weather, as any of these items can carry moisture and cause your interior garage GFI to trip which may cause your garage doors, interior garage equipment (including garage fridge or freezers) to lose power if they are tied into the same circuit. Unplugging these items before the heavy rain can be helpful in the chance of a GFI trip occurring and causing power to be lost to those items until the circuit dries out. If your home was built in 2018 or newer, you may have GFI breakers versus GFI outlets with reset buttons throughout the home.

On another thread, you may have noticed I chimed in on Whole Home Surge Protection. This is a big recommendation of ours throughout the seasons to protect your home from surges and damages to your major appliances, equipment, and sensitive electronics. We offer a 5% discount on ALL of our services for Talk of The Villages members, so be sure you mention it if you call in to us.
We are happy to be your local trusted electrician. Please do not hesitate to call us for any helpful tips, information, for all of your home's electrical needs.

My go to place, great service.
