I would suggest whole house Voltage Surge protection. You are in for a long haul. stay grounded my friend
In addition to whole house surge protection get lightning rods. After the house burned down from lightning in Linden I decided to check out lightning rods. I went to POA meeting about lightening protection and rods were the first line of defense. A1 was one of the three companies they recommended because they had all the required certifications.
I got them 2 years ago and I sleep much better. A1 put mine in. These are especially important if you have gas!
It’s worth the peace of mind.
