It is not the kind of work where I would search for the least cost provider. I had recommendations from friends, did research, then made my decision. I have a Gardenia and it cost $2500 without the surge protection.
Many thanks to all for their input. I just got off the phone with SECO and they are going to install the surge protector... in about 3 weeks. Big backlog, probably due to all the activity lately!

Next step is the LPS, and I sure appreciate Steve's comments and the benefit of your research. I have noticed quite a few installations lately, and a lot of them have the cables draped over rain gutters. That doesn't sound smart to me either!

Thanks again,
