It does not protect your wiring inside the house.

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.
surge protectors are not a scam ! you sound like a either a snake oil salesman or a lightening rod salesman.
