Thank you for your post. At our house across from LSL in Creekside Landing, and had a surge due to lightning this past Friday night (accompanied by a heart-stopping thunder clap) that fried several costly items that will take us weeks and thousands of $ (equipment replacement and manpower) to replace.
We've been paying for SECO's Surge protection for 5+ years, and upon calling their offices this Monday August 18 to question coverage, they shared only that the coverage is up to 4,000 joules, providing contact info for a 3rd party we must contact with any questions or to file a claim in that regard.
After Friday night's lightning experience, I would appreciate learning what LPS / lightning rod options are available for small--parcel-homes such as courtyard villas that would not divert dangerous electricity towards neighbors.
Thanks much for any advice or info.
