I rent SECO and put individual surge protectors on different electronic items as required. After a lightning strike last year that blew out my sprinkler control I contacted them and they sent out an employee that took my individual surge protector and had it sent to the manufacture for analysis. Results came back that the surge didn't come thru the surge protector but they figured it came thru the water supply line. So.....I'm responsible for the bill of a new controller. I was told many refrigerators are hit and they often say it came thru the water line supplying the ice maker so they aren't responsible.
