I feel fortunate that I didn't lose my fridge, washer, dryer, and oven. Are the individual surge protectors effective?
Your whole house surge protector has two LED lights that are visible and always “ON”. If either of the lights is “OFF” then the unit has taken a heavy lightning hit and is no longer providing protection. In that case it needs to be serviced ( I don’t remember if they charge for this service)
