I am looking for (1) Lightening Protector (2) Surge Protector combined if possible. Which product can do both for whole house ?

The SYCOM whole house surge protector can do both. I installed one on my circuit breaker box will little trouble. I haven't yet had a lightning strike or surge, so I haven't had the opportunity to see it work.

A surge can be from lightning or from line voltage, this unit is designed to catch the surge before it enters your house wiring and damage sensitive equipment. So yes it will do the job you want.

Hello S. Narine:The Sycom Surge Protector that we sell is effective for both, whether the surge comes from the power company or lightning.Lightning is electricity, the same as what the power company provides. The difference being that with Lightning, there is more of it.Hope that answersGil, for:Lightning Rod Stuff, LLC

If the protected (green light) light is off and surge protector is plugged into a live power outlet, the surge protector has done its job and must be replaced. The warranty seems to cover lightning strikes, contact Belkin International, Inc., at 12045 E. Waterfront drive, Playa Vista, CA 90094, Attn: Claims Department or call (800) 223-5546 or use self service claim form at http://www.belkin.com/support. You must be the original owner of this product.

I just came home today and saw that one of my Livewire devices burned out during a lightning storm. This is unacceptable! They tell you not to connect them to a surge protector, yet they don't protect it against surges! How very convenient, that way you have to buy more of the damned things from them.

An outlet, preferable. A simple power strip, fine. A surge suppressor, iffy, especially if it has noise filtration. A UPS, forget it.

Yes it is, at least that's what it says on the box ! It doesn't have a surge protector light on it, like most surge protectors, But if it wasn't built in to it, I'm sure, they would advertise it as a surge protector ! But it is a really cool unit, with 2 usb moutlets, 2 1 amp, & 2 2.1 amp for faster charging, very cool !

From advertizing on outer box:For Computers & "HOME THEATERS" ..My thought:would think that any surge protector that has Coaxial Connections for TV / Cable Box(as the Monster Power has) would be safe to use for TV. Although they "Monster Power" may by chance also make a Surge Protection System specially designed just for Home Theater Systems?

I would call tech support. Not great phone manners, but informative. I would highly recommend a surge protector. I replaced 4 circuit boards in 5 years. $$$

Installing the Whole House Surge Protection device into the electrical panel provides protection for both the 120VAC and 240VAC as it attaches to the panel the same as a 240VAC circuit breaker meaning that it protects both legs of the AC circuit. Consequently, it provides the fist level of protection for all of your electrical devices such as the heater, air conditioner, electric stove, etc. The only draw back is that if it is tripped, by say a lightning strike, it will have to be replaced. Regardless, it's still a good investment if it saves all of your appliances which do not have a dedicated surge suppressor. It is still recommended that you have a surge suppressor on items such as computers and televisions, etc.

You are reading the description wrong. It states it circuit breaker protected, not surge protected. Circuit protected is basically if it is wattage overloaded the circuit breaker pop and you will have to reset it once the overload is removed. This unit is not a surge protector. Depending on your level of surge protection needed and you want an inexpensive surge protector you should look at the GE 14707 on Amazon. It sells for $9.99 Prime. It has 104 joules of surge protection.

I don't think you will need anything like that. We live in Florida which has a lot of lightning strikes and power surges. Haven't had any problems. This is a good product.

- A common surge protector will stop voltage spikes and surges, but not the violent, catastrophic burst of current from a close lightning strike. Direct lightning current is simply too big to protect with a little electronic device

I didn't look at the other comments before responding... sorry. More is better, opinions vary, nothing is perfect, I deemed this adequate and it insures my warranty is not invalidated for not using a surge protector. Regarding how much more you might want, here is one reference: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/everyday-tech/surge-protector7.htm

i don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.

Try Buying a quality surge Protector. If that does not work then it could be your actual electrical system. The Electrical System in my new to me house is rock solid stable and I do not have any problem that you site. If a new Surge Protector does not fix your problem then Do Contact Bose Tech Support and maybe they can assist you.

The manual states you need to keep all combustibles at least 3 feet from the front and the sides of the unit. This includes drapes and curtains. I have not tried a surge protector but do not see why you could not use one.
