My main breaker is in a panel below the meter on the outside of the house which I believe is now standard in the south side of the villages. Therefore my secondary SPD (a Siemens FS140) is located outside at the bottom of this panel. So the flush mount kit is not needed in all situations here.

What do you know about the Meter Treater 575-1SL-A that Leesburg installs? Leesburg handles gas and electric for some villages. Is it the same unit that SECO calls the MitiGator?

One thing that has not been mentioned is an SPD on the AC units. My research 3 years ago led me to the Intermatic CD1-024R Compressor Defender. This is installed on the side of the disconnect by the outside unit. Also protects agains brownouts.

Another note is if you have a whole house generator with an automatic transfer switch, it does not have an SPD to protect its circuitry or the circuitry of the generator. PSP created the GSP-50 last year that mounts inside the transfer switch box.
