Whole House Surge Protection…recommendations!


I am considering a surge protection solution for the whole house in my main breaker box. I also have two dedicated 15A lines for my audio room. In a recent discussion @maxwave recommended a Siemens whole house protection device. Based on Siemens recommendation (where I live), Siemens FS140 model fits the bill. 

The other product comes to mind is Environmental Potentials EP-2050 at twice the cost. Is there another product I should consider before hiring an electrician?

Thank you!

Check with your electric utility too see if it offers a Type 1 surge protection device. Not all allow them, but there's nothing like correcting a problem as closely to the source as possible.

@carlsbad, if my power strip is using MOVs for surge suppression, there is nothing limiting current.
