Be aware that "whole house" can be a misleading term. Just installing a surge protection device on your electric meter or electric panel is only part of the solution. Because lightning can enter your home from other sources you need surge protection on your valuable appliances and electronic equipment.
Also be aware that surge protection is only for the more frequent but less severe INDIRECT lightning strikes. For DIRECT strikes you need a lightning protection system.
