In my home, and in my opinion, the more layers of protection you can add to protect your devices the better. And yes, I have SECO ‘s Surge-mitigator in my home and one on my AC unit outside.
Good for you installing a surge protector on the A/C unit power disconnect outside. You can also install that type of surge protector on the power disconnect at you pool and hot tub. These are called Type-2 protectors and one popular one is made by Intermatic. I also have an Intermatic Surge protector installed at my HVAC and Hot Tub power disconnects. More layers, More protection.
