Default Surge Protector at Electric Meter
At our previous home in KY we had the electric company install surge suppressors. We had 2 electric meters and the units were installed at the base of the meter. Having a total electric home I felt as though it was advisable. The way we found out they worked was I walked by the meter and heard a high pitched sound. It was an audible alarm that suggested there had been a spike in the system. I contacted customer service and they came out and replaced the surge unit for no cost. I'm sure SECO could explain the operation of the unit.

At our home here in TV I had 2 breakers installed in the fuse panel. "Supposedly" does the same thing for a nominal fee of $150. Hope I never have to prove that it works.
