I strongly agree with the general attitude of "There is no protection from direct lightning strike!" Get good home owner's insurance! Don't waste money on surge protectors!
Lightning Protection
I've read on other posts that a whole house arrestor is the best protection against damage from lightning strikes. Can anybody describe what having an arrestor installed would entail? Is this something the power company has to perform, or can any qualified electrician do the work? How expensive is it? How effective is it, or do I have to supplement the arrestor with other safeguards?
Thanks!
