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.
I would just add that none of these surge protector warranties will cover anything that is already covered by your homeowner's insurance. So, the only thing they will ever possibly pay for is your insurance deductible.
