CP&L Energy Inc., a Progress Energy electric utility company based in Raleigh, N.C., has launched a new program that repairs and replaces home electrical wiring and components.

For $3.95 a month, the service covers many of the most common electrical-wiring troubles involving outlets, switches, fuses, breakers, inside wiring and even the electric meter outside one's home.

Subscribers call CP&L's electrical experts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for prompt response. A licensed, qualified and CP&L-approved electrician will repair any covered problem.

The $3.95 monthly fee includes:
