CORRECT, meaning installing a whole home surge protector, lightning rods and outlet local surge protectors is called self insured

You are personally insuring against the risk and aggravation of a random event AND the risk and aggravation of the insurance company's issues dealing with your scenario.

Same issue with home insurance and pro rated roof insurance. . the older the roof gets, the more you are self insured. . .

It's a bit more expensive living in an environment known for mother nature's disdain for building houses on farm land. .
