There are a wide variety of options available both at home improvement stores and online for home surge protection and in a wide variety of price ranges. The best kind will clearly list their interrupting rating, have an indicator light to let you know that they are still working and have not been blown by a direct strike, and have a good manufacturer warranty. Quality manufacturers provide a warranty covering all the in home devices and appliances that could be damaged by a surge or indirect strike.
We specifically recommend and frequently install the following 2 units, the Eaton unit is a bit moe affordable but the Intermatic offers the ability to replace modules in the event of a surge event by yourself, both are quality products.
EATON Ultimate Surge Protection ( CHSPT2ULTRA ):
Great low cost solution for residential needs. Limited lifetime warranty on equipment and $75,000 coverage for connected devices. Must be replaced after a surge event.
Intermatic Smart Guard Whole Home Surge Protector (IG2240-IMSK):
This unit comes with both a protection status light for easy checking and replaceable modules (can be done by homeowner) to reset the unit after a surge event.
Intermatic is backed by a great warranty & quality equipment, & solid customer service. There is a 10 year product warranty and coverage for up to $50,000 on connected equipment.
