Provide Peace of Mind with SurgeAssist
Friday | May 1, 2026

Power surges can happen at any time and cause serious damage to electronics, appliances and other electric household items. REC's Vividly Brighter SurgeAssist helps cover the repair or replacement costs of damaged equipment. 

Surges can be caused by lightning, trees contacting power lines or vehicle accidents. Sensitive electronic equipment is particularly susceptible, but surges can also damage televisions, computers, HVAC systems, well pumps, refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, washers and dryers.

SurgeAssist offers peace of mind and financial protection. For a minimal monthly fee, members are not faced with the entire repair or replacement expense for eligible damages.

Enroll in SurgeAssist for $5.95 per month to receive reimbursement up to $2,000 in a rolling 12-month period.

"Through Vividly Brighter, REC provides value-added services that help members protect their homes from the unexpected, and improve their quality of life through greater peace of mind," said Louis O'Berry, director — energy services solutions. 

There is an initial waiting period of 30 days after the first payment for the coverage to be active, and members can cancel at any time.
