A small cost for the peace of mind and comfort that iSocket gives you.

Remember, the cost of the damage from a power outage can be considerably more than the cost of a solution that will send you power outage notifications. And remember, power failure alerting is not the only feature iSocket offers you.

No power - no football.

Butler, Kinnelon, Bloomingdale, and small portions of West Milford and Riverdale were without electricity.
