I have surge/lightning protection in my home. Am I safe from lightning strikes?

No. Surge/lightning protection only offers additional levels of protection.

 

If I have surge/lightning protection on my main service, should I use point-of-use surge plug-ins at my TV, stereo, computer, etc.?

Yes. Main line surge is no absolute gu8arantee and any additional surge protection downstream in the system offers a greater level of protection; though, nothing is absolute when it comes to the power of Mother Nature.
