Would you know there was a Stage 2 surge device already installed. A requirement of new construction code. Not sure if that is just my county, or Florida wide.
No need for the Ring. No need for the Stage 2 on the CB Panel in the garage. It was already installed! Saved $$$ on the cost of the Ring. Saved $$$ on the cost of installing a Stage 2 on the C/B panel. Lesson learned!
Is there any sort of indication inside or out that tells you when the device has reached end of life? The types 1 and 2 that you speak of both have indicator lights. How is a homeowner to know if he's no longer protected?
