One of my neighbors has had a surge protector installed on her panel to minimize future losses.

I would be interested in hearing what others have done to minimize losses.

Thank you.
Seco's surge protector will help protect items plugged into your electrical system. a hit to the cable/telephone system will most likely get through and do some damage.
