My experience with these "whole house" panel suppressors, in southern NY, is
that they work fine for motors and general house wiring and equipment, but
your sensitive electronics will still fry

I'd like to know how effective these are and a ballpark figure to have
an electrician furnish and install one in Northern NJ.

This question was prompted by the recent failure of a security light.
The maker's tech support speculated it was from a surge. My HVAC
contractor said the same thing after replacing fried components two
years ago.

Anyhow, my computers are on suppressors but everything else seems
vulnerable. Note that lightning is not a problem.

Thanks.
