We did this too. We had a very close lightening strike to one side of our house and it caused what we were told was a "rolling black out" throughout the house. One room shut down, followed by another and another, even blew out the irrigation etc. SECO was here IMMEDIATELY, fixed everything, got us up and running and then suggested the surge protectors. They appear to work great. The rental fee appears on your SECO bill so it becomes almost painless.
