Does anyone have a particular brand and model to recommend? How expensive a proposition is this, including an electrician to install? Thanks for any input. Carl
I had mine done when i had the dedicated lines put in. The unit itself is an Intermatic, although there are others out there. It was an additional 200.00 installed.
About 4 years ago I took my electrical power company up on an offer for them to install a whole house surge protector for an additional $5 per month. They provided a $10k insurance policy against any electrical damage to enter the home via the power lines.
Personally, I don't think they do anything but provide additional insurance but it can't hurt to have.
Surge protectors can be helpful in a variety of ways. Years ago a tree gel onto a power pole and took out the transformer which destroyed the services along a full city block.
The owner of the tree had her isurance company pay for all of the repairs.
