I have a friend who wants to put surge protection at his panel. His concerns are everything in the house with electronics including furnace, microwave, stereo, TVs, computers and etc. My questions are whether surge protection actually works and which product works best.
Most damage, that is brought to my attention, is from lost neutrals. I don't remember dealing with anyone who lost equipment that might have been saved with surge protection.
My own advice would be to pick the favorite equipment and use a USP, but they are costly and annoying because they beep when the power goes out.
What do you think?
