Surge protector installation in South Orange

Whole house surge protection in South Orange: common questions
Will it stop a direct lightning strike?
Nothing fully stops a direct strike, but a panel device handles the far more common nearby strikes and grid surges.
Do I still need power strips?
For computers and home theater gear, a good strip adds a second layer.
How long does a surge protector last?
Years, but it wears a little with every surge. The indicator light shows when it needs replacing.
