Environmental Potentials whole house surge protection, can I get your opinions?


I'd like to protect my whole house from surges rather than use individual units around the house.
The power on the NE is pretty good, but I know all it takes one bad zap. Have any of you installed this unit and do you think it works?

I have one (the EP-2050), of course I cannot vouch for whether it works as it's not been tested yet! It seems reasonably priced (in the context of these things) and harmless as to your power quality (I have it upstream of a Torus on wall conditioner so cannot attest to its conditioning effects stand alone) so why not. At the same time you might also consider adding the EP-2775 ground filter as well
I can tell you that regardless of how you configure your surge protection, no surge protector that I know of can protect against a lightning strike. Most people aren't aware of that.

You need a Type 1 device for that degree of protection, such as this. Oddly, not all utilities allow them to be installed on their network.
