As a newbie in Hillsborough, I bought the whole house surge suppressor from Pike’s last year, hoping for peace of mind. Also installed individual surge suppressors on specific items, such as garage door openers, irrigation system, microwave, etc. Our roof was struck by lightning on 5/16/18 on a not so stormy day. Blew off some shingles, took out the modem, a garage door opener, irrigation system, recliner motors, and one GFI. TVs, Alexa, and stereo receiver survived. Believe me, I’m thankful for no fire and no more damage. Pikes charged me to replace the GFI and said the suppressor is a “level of security” from the power source to the box, as well as the individual surge protectors. So, draw your own conclusions.
