whole house protection

Recently our furnace was the victim of a power surge during a wind storm. Glad it was not the computer or audio components. Repair man said the furnace was probably running when it happened. If the furnace was not running it possibly may not have happened. We have protection for the computer and audio/video stuff but now I am thinking of installing a whole house surge protection or conditioner. Anyone out there with experience in this. Any comments. Recommend a product line?

Just remember that a surge protector does not protect you from brown outs. They are two differant things and require differant devices for protection. The later is less costly to protect you from.

Just get a good Cost replacement "Rider" with your Home Insurance ...Thats the best protection one can have..I know .I lost some Audio Research pieces many years ago ( on xmas morning ) when I telephone pole transformer blew up in front of my house and destroyed my pride and joy tube preamp and amp ......I ended up with more money than they were worth and ended up buying newer pieces to replace them..The cost is minimal and the piece of mind is "Priceless"
