1. I have not read the previous replies so I apologize if I repeat something already covered
2. My father also lived in TV and he had damage to a television, his irrigation controller, and his garage door opener when a nearby palm tree was struck by lightening
3. I have a SECO supplied whole house surge suppressor and have had no losses
4. You say you are are familiar with electric issues, but are you really? If you were, you would know that the whole house suppressor does not protect electrical devices ie TVs, irrigation controllers, garage door openers, sound systems, etc. For those you need to also use individual surge suppressors.
