Rancho Park, Where Los Angeles Feels Like Home

WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTORS

The utilities in the Cheviot / Rancho area are old and outdated resulting in outages like we had earlier this week. A whole house serge protector provided by DWP will prevent electrical panel burn outs caused during incidents like the one this week. DWP will install a protector when the power enters your home. The added charge is around $3.99 a month extra. Our oven panel burned out several times and the appliance repair company recommended a house surge protector. . We haven't had such problems since.

Comment by Paul Hockley on May 8, 2013 at 12:45pm: Hi Ori, we added a second floor in 2000 and upgraded the electrical system at that time. The problem with the oven happened afterward the upgrade. I don't think whole house surge protectors are required by code. It's something optional.

Comment by Orli Belman on May 8, 2013 at 9:12am: Thanks Paul. We remodeled our home a few years ago and the electrical system was upgraded then. We were spared the problems many folks experienced and I imagine it is due to having a newer system. Do you know if whole house surge protectors are required now?
