Q: Types Of Surge Protection Devices

Whole Home: Shield your home from hazardous power surges with a whole-house surge suppressor. Easily installed at the fuse box, this lifesaving device plugs into existing wiring to keep electricity in check! Prices vary depending on its joule capacity and range anywhere from $50 to hundreds of dollars – invest now for longterm protection against electric shock. Power Strips: With so many power strips out there, it’s easy to get lost in the current of features. But when shopping for one with surge protection abilities, know that joule ratings are essential – inexpensive models offer 400-600 while pricier options can protect up to 1,000 or more! Choose wisely and keep your prized possessions safe from dangerous surges. Transient Voltage Surge Supressors (TVSS): Protect your home against damaging power surges with Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS). These units are hardwired into outlets to create a protective barrier from voltage up to 400 volts and joule capacities between 290-900. Many models offer alarms or indicator lights indicating when a surge has occurred, so you’ll be able to monitor the health of their protection levels. Prices range depending on capacity and additional features – but average around $25-$100 each! Keep yourself safe without breaking the bank.

I used this company to service my generator and perform electrical repairs/work in my home. They came promptly, were professional and neat and made sure that I was satisfied. A bonus - the electrician noticed that the electrical line to my house was low and suggested I call PSEG. The suggestion led to a $50 reduction in my monthly bill! Thank you Haines Electric. I will be recommending you to friends and family, for sure.

Rich arrived on time and quickly installed three new external 15 amp outlets. He also gave us advice on the best way to make a 20 amp supply available outside the house by using the 20 amp outlets in our kitchen. This was extremely helpful advice. We had a further discussion about automatic alarm systems with a camera that could be installed using our front door bell push.This was not our first experience of this firm and we would never think of anyone else now.

During major construction on our home, we discovered that the electrical work was not executed according to the plan. With time being a major issue, we were very fortunate to be referred to Rich at Haines Electric. Rich was clearly very competent and extremely customer service oriented. He and his team came in and corrected / completed the work we needed. It was done at a reasonable cost in very short order. Everything was cleaned up perfectly after they left.They impressed us so much that we have definitely decided to use Haines for all our electrical needs.We would highly recommend them to anyone needing an electrician - especially if you plan major electrical work!

Needed an emergency shut off switch for a water heater. Rich offered fair quotes and provided a solution that another electrician did not offer. Paul completed the actual work. He arrived on time and left the area spotless. Both of them were very courteous and professional. I will be calling them again for other work.

After 3 unsuccessful attempts to get other electricians to return my calls, I found Haines Electric and I am thrilled with the service they provided. Rich returned my phone call, came on time to spec the job, gave me a reasonable price and promptly began the work on the agreed upon dates. His team works cleanly and efficiently. A snag was encountered during the installation that, with a less knowledgeable company, would have meant tearing out walls, Rich was able to solve with no interior damage. You will be throughly pleased if you hire Haines Electric.

I have been using Rich for over a decade. HIs company is always professional, does a great job and is reasonably priced. Recently I hired him to replace 53 year old bulbs and wiring harnesses that were not working. While doing the job, his team diagnosed and fixed an electrical problem that may have resulted in a fire had they not fixed it. After redoing the outdoor lights, it is better than ever. The outside is better lite then it has been in the past, uses less electricity with new bulb technology and is better insulated against the weather and insects. I highly recommend Rich's company.

E.H. Haines was recommended by a long time friend of mine who knew the company well. Every time I heard about Haines Electric .. you would hear quality work right after their name. Or you would hear use Haines Electric and get it done once and get it done right. Electric is something you just don’t fool around with. They are very knowledgeable and can trouble shoot any job . E.H. Haines equals peace of mind.Dawn Castagne

Men showed up on time and confirmed the day before. Their cost for the work is published, and is established before they start so there is no misunderstanding on the pricing. They brought protection for rugs and furniture. They did the work in a timely manner and were extremely pleasant. Haines has been doing work for our family for many years, and we have always been happy with the results. Thanks guys!

Would not use anyone else for electrical work. Besides outstanding quality work, Haines electric is about customer service. Estimates are clear and complete. They are prompt and on-time and keep the homeowner in the loop at all times. Also show me another electric contractor that makes his workers wear disposable booties so that they don't track dirt through the house!!

I've been using Haines Electric for years and can honestly say that they are the best of all the tradesmen who have done work for me. They show up on time, every time. The work is always completed professionally and efficiently. After they are finished, your home will be as clean as it was before they arrived. It's also a nice touch that they wear disposable booties in an effort to keep your house as clean as they can while working.

Highly recommend E. Haines Electric for all electrical work for all your electrical needs whether small or large projects. Rich, Chris, and RJ from E.H. Haine are very professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. We went from an emergency situation to full resolution after working with E.H. Haine in a short period of time. All work is billed by project vs hour and they stand by their work. Great to do business with / no worries! 😎

Top notch service. Rich, his son RJ and Chris are the best. Show up on time, my house was cleaner once they left and the service was superb. Not only did they do what was promised they did extras.

We have tried other companies but none have even come close to our expectations. Haines Electric is by far light years beyond any competition. In an age when customer service seems to have gone by the wayside and there is little pride in ones work, Haines is a breath of fresh air. Calls are promptly and courteously returned, the crew dons booties and lays tarps to keep my house clean, the crew goes over the work before leaving, they are quick to answer questions - no matter how basic they may be and they come when they say they will be there! Their work is neat and their pricing is reasonable and easy to understand (didn't nickel and dime us.) I have and continue to have no problem recommending them to anyone. If you want an electrician who is honest, respectful, trustworthy and dependable - choose Haines Electric!

I have been searching for a good electrician for years. They all seem to want to put outlets in the middle of the wall and arrange light switches in ways that have no logic what so ever.Hooray--along came Richie from Haines and all my opinions have changed. Everyone from Haines is knowledgeable, listens to concerns and offers great suggestions. They have worked at my new home on several occasions and each time I was delighted with the experience.Very highly recommended!
