Yes.

Two worthwhile purchases we made in the Spring before we left for six month .... humidistat and surge protector.

You can get SECO to install one on your electrical panel. Or you can buy individual surge protectors for your outlets and install them yourself (less effective but also a lot less expensive and better than nothing).
