WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT GEORGIA POWER’S
HOME WIRING PROGRAM
A year ago the Georgia Power Company in
troduced a revolutionary new wiring plan.
Since then the company has helped pay for
adequate wiring in more than 10,000 Georgia
homes. This same money-saving plan is avail
able to you. Here are the facts:
IN ORDER TO QUALIFY for the plan. you. as
a homeowner, must install certain circuits of
your own, as well as one or more designated
appliances.
• The company will then pay the electrical
contractor of your choice from SSO to S2OO
toward the installation of an adequate service
entrance.
• The installation work is not done by the
Georgia Power Company, but must be done
by an authorized electrical contractor.
• The maintenance and repair of this service
entrance becomes the responsibility of the
company. You are responsible only for future
maintenance of internal circuits and fuses.
• It makes no difference what kind of home
you live in—new or old, all-electric or not—
if you qualify under the plan, the company
will help pay for the job.
There are many more details you’ll want to
know, and any electric appliance dealer, elec
trical contractor or power company repre
sentative will be glad to give you additional
information.
Why not join the thousands of satisfied
people who have “wired ahead” to live better
electrically? Ask for further information
about the wiring plan today.
