After a lightening strike destroyed the computers in three of my appliances, I acquired and installed a whole house surge suppressor, Made by Intermatic, sold by Amazon. Cost me $103 and took ten minutes to install. Instructions well written. Gary

 

Now that the average home can have several computers, tablets, smart phones, digital cable boxes, digital TV sets, cable modems, network routers, and various smart appliances in addition to multi-channel home audio systems, it may be time for building codes to step out of the 1960's and recognize the new world order. Perhaps we should be putting whole house protection into all new construction. Or, if codes don't require it, builders should certainly consider it. As you noted it's cheap n easy to do and could easily become a feature that could be marketed to prospective buyers.

 

Do you see the hand of god in this? After all you say god is electrical energy.

 

Every thing is electric powered. Make sure the harness is tight. gary

 

What

 

Nah, God's too busy diddling himself to hurl lightning bolts at houses.

He's got both hands full of love.
