Your home electronics are much more likely to be fried from a power surge from a lightning strike a block away than by a direct strike. I consider the SECO surge protector money well spent. (Hey, people pay for termite contracts when we’ve had almost no termite damage here except in one small area, and they pay for electronic surveillance and ADT when we have almost no break-ins.). Note that you should also use better quality surge protectors when connecting your television and computer. The combination is well worth the money.
