Excellent! Your chances of getting damage from a surge has gone down significantly where you shouldn't need to worry about it any more. I can tell you, with the large numbers of sever storms we have been getting, Lenhart and Pikes electric have been installing a very large number of these whole house surge protectors. Everyone on my street has them along with the Seco protector which is mainly designed to manage surges coming from the utility company. Because of where we live here in central Florida, it's really a necessity. Damage from induced surges is not talked about often becasue you don't get a spectacular fire like from a lightning strike but they happen all the time here in the Villages.
