Those failures are more likely due to infant mortality or a component of a design flaw.

Isn't the SECO surge protector supposed to protect both the inside and outside components of the HVAC system? A surge protector installed on the outside disconnect box is downstream of the house electrical panel which is located upstream of the disconnect box. So, what can the HVAC surge protector do that the SECO surge protector cannot do before the current reaches the disconnect box? In other words, why do you need two surge protectors? And, if the HVAC surge protector is better than the SECO surge protector, why not just replace the SECO surge protector with the HVAC surge protector at the house meter?
