Florida Power and Light is up to its sicking scare tatics rent our surge protector or everything in your house will be destroyed from lighting. People Im an electrician been so since 1978 you can buy a whole house surge protector for around $60 and have it installed for around $100. it takes about 5 min to install . What you will pay FPL every month for the rest of your life will well excede $160. And the devices you can purchase from an electrical supply house will give you a warranty if something blowes out like your a/c or appliance. / I also want to add that a year ago FPL said to raise the temp on your a/c and run fans to lower your electric bill . Doing this will raise your electric bill. A/C 101 Your a/c unit works based on cooling cubic hot air rises so just above your thermostat the air starts getting warmer and at the ceiling its even warmer when you put a fan on its stirs up the warm above the thermostat and mixes it with the cool air now your cooling more cubic feet of air . For a central A/C in a normal home of 1500sf when you stir up the hot air at the ceiling you are mixing about 3000 cubic feet of hot air with your cool air thus making your A/C run and run and run $$$$$$$$ for FPL.. If you want your home cooler lower the theromostat central air needs no fans thats why its called central air. F P L FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT RIPPING OFF PEOPLE EVERYDAY. THIS REPORT IS FOR ALL THE POOR SENIORS THAT FPL RIPS OFF EVERY DAY SHAME ON YOU FPL.

Yes. People don't Know any better Who ever heard of paying $10 per mo for surge protector. If they had any morals they would stop billing you after they made a couple hundred off of you. My mom is 86 . Im just looking out for your mom .

Some older people and younger will not know any better or think the electric company is the only one that can go into the box and end up paying for the service. Home owners have gone through enough .

Government?

Do you really want the government legislating the price of surge protectors and telling you how to operate your a/c? If you don't like the price, get it somewhere else as you suggested. We sure don't want the government involved at this level. Not a good idea.

think about where that would end.
