I have been considering a whole house surge protector for a while. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Recommendations?
Large online UPSes intended to supply entire computer rooms typically have two sections -- the inverter, and the battery cabinet(s).
It is possible you could find someone who wants to get rid of one of these because the batteries are dead.
But you could wire it up so that your entire house was on the inverter which would supply you with re-built, clean power.
