I view the whole surge protector in the meter box as a scam.
I signed up for the protector service anyway.
I plan to look into lightning rods when I return since the developer has them on all of his buildings. Now I'll check the electric meters on the smaller buildings to see if they turn on the surge protectors.

Thank you for the headsup information regarding the meter box, etc. I will keep this in mind for future reference, and certainly will discuss with A-1 before having anything installed, not sure why the Warranty Department would recommend someone that offers "SCAMS" though.
Sure wouldn't want to be scammed. There always seems to be a method to everyone's madness. Can't get a straight answer or honest offer in this day and time. Makes for much skepticism.
