Read the small print associated with this device. A surge between the SECO device and the transformer is not covered. It will not stop the events that cause real damage; close by lightning strike that hops onto a cable entering your house. I know a couple that lost several appliances in their home from that event and they had a SECO surge protector. There isn't a consumer grade device that will protect you from a close in lightning strike.
