Your home runs very well when its electrical power is properly controlled.

Tri-County's 'Strike Guard' surge protection program provides a sophisticated, two-stage system that can make your equipment more dependable than ever before.

Why Surge Protection is Important:
Surges can be caused by such varied events as lightning, cars colliding with utility poles, tree limbs falling on electrical lines, construction work, demand fluctuations within the home, and even disturbances transmitted through telephone and cable lines. Many power-surge problems can be associated with improper interior and exterior wiring and grounding. Grounding must adhere to the requirements of manufacturers, local code, and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for safety as well as proper operation of any surge protection system.
Commonly overlooked problems include improperly grounded main disconnects and circuit devices. A major concern involves multiple grounds which are not bonded together, such as telephone and CATV service entrances, satellite poles and dishes, metal well casings, and antenna towers. NEC recommends that all grounds be bonded together to reference a common ground.
Tri-County's 'Strike Guard' surge protection program provides a sophisticated, two-stage system that can make your equipment more dependable than ever before.
The first stage of our program is a meter base adapter installed outside your home. This unit is designed to provide a high degree of protection for home appliances such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and electric ranges (appliances that are called "white appliances"). The meter base adapter must be installed by a qualified Tri-County representative. In some cases, a hard-wired device installed in a breaker panel by a qualified electrician may be necessary instead of a meter base adapter. Both units have identical warranties and additional insurance protection on the "white appliances" in the home.
The second stage of the 'Strike Guard' program is the use of various plug-in surge protection devices inside your home. These outlet strips protect more sensitive electronic devices like home computers, entertainment centers, and portable phones. You can purchase these strips for your specific needs from Tri-County.
Together, these two stages provide the best protection available from electric disturbances from both outside and inside your home.
Electrical appliances are so much a part of our lives we hardly think about them -- until there's a failure. With a comprehensive home power protection program, you can help eliminate the constant risk of costly and inconvenient damages caused by power disturbances. Whether the disturbance is natural or man-made, small-scale or catastrophic, today's sophisticated protective systems can make your equipment more dependable than ever before.
Tri-County offers no warranties on these products. Equipment and all warranties offered are through manufacturer and PSP Products, Inc.

Long Distance Telephone Service
In January 2004, Tri-County through Southern Services began marketing long distance telephone service through Transworld Network (TWN). In exchange for marketing services, TWN paid Southern Services, LLC. a commission. Effective January 26, 2010 that business relationship was terminated. However, members may continue to subscribe to the long distance service and deal directly with TWN.

Security Lighting Rental
for safety and security
Security lights provide much needed light over a wide area at a minimum cost. Any security light rented from Tri-County is maintained by cooperative personnel. This includes replacing bulbs, shields, and the photo electric eye. Security lights rented monthly from the cooperative are not wired through the electric meters, and do not affect the number of kilowatt-hours used.
Tri-County maintains an inventory of several types and wattages of security lights for rent by members. The most common size is the 100 watt, 7,150 lumen, high pressure sodium with refractor globe which rents for $7.50 per month. Several other sizes and types are also available. Contact us if you would like more information.
