Whole house surge . . .

I have one from my electric company that installs at the meter, its a ring that goes around the base of it. Though I still use surge/strips on PC's and tv's.

Creepy guy in the mirror.
Some of the panel manufacturers (like Siemens) make ones that go in a breaker slot right in your panel and come with a 15amp breaker. This way you connect some of your lights on the circuit and if the surge suppressor trips your lights go out to let you know you need to reset it.
As far as experience I have none - I havent installed one yet.

I also have the cable surge suppressor if anyone wants to buy it. It's BNIB. Verizon tech told me it doesnt work with my setup.

I'm surprised that they don't cost more than what they do.

Wish I knew about this thread before the end of May when an electrical storm fried my A/C compressor.
An expensive lesson ($10,000) but I've got the Schneider Square D on the home, the rental, and my parent's house now. Install was really easy even for this non-electrician. I really recommend it.

those are good as well... i only got mine because it was on sale... i think with these, they all do the same thing and something is better than nothing when it comes to these... when you think about the surge strips that protect your thousand dollar home theater system/TV and computer, what kind of protection do we have on a $10-20k HVAC system? most houses have nothing...

hmmm I have two panels in my garage but only one line coming into the house just ended up needing a second panel so I wonder if I would need just one of these? My garage is also finished so is this something I could put behind the beauty panel of the the breaker box as my full sized tool box and a full wall of pegboard are on that wall.
