If you don't have whole house surge protection, call Lake Deaton Electric, Dave Robinson on 352-630-3579 and get an Eaton Ultra installed at your circuit breaker panel. This is needed in addition to the surge protector from Seco that is on you meter since that protector is designed to manage surges coming from the electric utility.
Surge protection is also very important when we talk about ligtning since induced power surges happen everytime we have a storm with lightning when lightning hits near your house. There is no spectacular fire so it's not reported but an induced power surge from lightning will damage your electrical devices and appliances in your home. In my opinion, for the one time cost, whole house surge protection is mandatory. Call Dave, he has a very fair price to install this device and does a great job.

With all the recent storms we have had in the past couple of months here in the Villages, many have realized the need for surge protection.
