What they're telling you is that they'd like some additional profit, please. Did they happen to mention where this dreaded surge might come from? What about your TV, or even your electric toothbrush? Are you going to be heartless and leave them unprotected?!?!
Nearby lightning would be the obvious, most likely source of a surge on the power to your home. SECO offers a legitimate whole-house power line surge protector that is installed at the electric meter for either a one-time charge of about $200, or alternatively for an ongoing fee of about $5/month on your bill.
