I own a townhouse. Florida power company offers surge protection at the meter for $10.95 a month where they come and install it. That’s more like $12.50 after taxes.
In one year, is about $150
I asked on Yelp and they told me they can put a surge protector in the breaker, but I need to contact FPL for the meter one.
I googled meter surge protector is like i cant find anything except a leviton or something that seems discontinued
I wonder what meter surge protector FPL is using clearly is not made by them
Makes no sense, should be possible to just buy a meter surge protector and have it installed.
The reason I don’t want to do it at the breaker is because is old. I plan on having it replaced but not now and is going to be expensive that.
I also read is better to put the surge protector at the meter than the breaker panel.
So I could sign up for FPL surge protection and when I finally replace the panel, cancel it and have someone put a surge protector in the new panel so I don’t pay monthly to FPL
