I agree 100%. Waste of money. Paid my monthly fee for 8 years. Lightening struck. There went my counter depth Maytag Refrigerator $2999. Dishwasher and garbage disposal. Called and filed a claim. Claim denied. Items were not plugged in to the wall on surge protector strips or plugs. Like to know how to do that with a dishwasher and garbage disposal. Only way they pay is if the items are on the surge protectors AND, only if they determine, which she could not explain how, that the lightening strike was powerful enough to trigger that surge protector on the outside of the house. Now everything is on my own surge protectors. After living in Florida my whole life, I have never had a refrigerator on a surge protector tor strip. The motherboard for the fridge was $500. The dishwasher was replaced $1000. Garbage disposal $150.
