They let me know it. I just wanted the electric on and didn't care with all the chaos of moving in.

Also there have been many good points made in this discussion. Especially RSMurano's regarding leasing. Leasing the surge protector might cost a few extra bucks over the course of six years, but the insurance protection of the utility replacing it, when necessary, most likely makes it more than worthwhile. So, after reading every single post in this thread, I think you were smart to lease.
