If you are not sure, walk around the neighborhood and compare the appearance of your meter to other meters. Also, if you are renting the surge protector, there will be a $5.95 per month charge on your electric bill. I know others will disagree, but in my opinion, the surge protector is a waste of money.
Why do you think they are a waste of money? Figure stopping the surge before it gets inside my house is a good thing.
