Surge Protection · Whole house, at the panel
One surge can take out every appliance in the house.
A whole-house surge protector sits at your electrical panel and stops a surge before it reaches your appliances, computers and cooktops. It is now required by code when a service is installed or upgraded, and John was putting them in long before that.
Why he recommends one
He has walked into plenty of homes after a surge: new ovens, new stoves, new cooktops, everything burned out at once. A surge protector costs far less than replacing a kitchen, and it protects the panel and the house wiring too.
What surge protection covers:
A whole-house surge protector at the main panel- Installed with a service or panel upgrade, or on its own
- Required by code when a service is installed or upgraded
- Appliances, electronics and the panel itself

Best done with a service upgrade
Most surge protectors go in alongside a new panel or service, the work he does most. If you are upgrading, it belongs on the list.
