Today I am living in my house in Sanibel 2 years. On June 6 2012 my house had a direct lightening hit. I had the surge protector installed from SECO a few days before.
SECO told me that nothing stops a direct hit. We also had a surge protector put on the big screen T.V. Our damage consisted of: 4 T.V.s, a computer, 5 outlets, the garage door opener, the lawn irrigation system, part of the air conditioner. About $5,000.00 worth of damage. Insurance covered all except deductible. The builder sent his men to fix the roof (peak melted) all is good. Never feel safe when there is a storm.
SECO changed the surge protector because we rent it.
