Just be aware, without any whole house surge protection, even with the point of use surge protectors that you are talking about, better get a good one like from Belkin, Tripplite or another reputable brand because with the large surges we get here in the Villages, some could cause these surge protectors to catch fire. If you ever get an induced surge can you come back to this forum and tell us how much damage you got and how much it cost you?
