OK, all this talk about lightning knocking out power and equipment in the homes has really got me thinking I need to do something about it now. Even though I am not living in my house yet, it can still effect circuit breakers and other equipment. I do have tenants but that certainly won't prevent lightning knocking everything out. Anyway, in a round about way, what I am asking is: I have seen on this thread recommendations for A1 Lightning to cover the whole house with a Lightning Rod or something like that, I believe, however, I just read under contractors someone mentioned calling SECO and having them install a Whole house surge protection for $5.95 per month.
What is the difference and is one better than the other? I heard A1 can run about $2000, so if the SECO option is just as good I think I'd rather go that route? Thanks for your help.
