The Seco surge protector mainly protects you from power surges from the power utility and as such their warranty doesn't cover any devide that has an electronic chip installed. The Type-2 surge protection you are referring to in newly built homes protects you from induced surges from everything else. Unfortunately, these surge protectors are the bare mininum to meet the electrical code. You need both surge protectors and I would also call Lenhart or Pikes electric and have a whole house surge protector installed at the circuit breaker panel and at your HVAC and pool and Spa equipment in addition for the best protection.
