Default Surge Protector for Friederich 24k btu Wall A/C Unit - Is it okay to use?

I have a Friederich 10k and 24k A/C but wall unit air conditioners.
These are only a few years old, but are not the newer models where the
plugs now come with the built in surge protector. I live in the North
East and like many other places is susceptible to many surges and
brownouts so I would also like the added protection of the surge
protectors of the newer units. My question is it is okay to use a
good off the shelf single outlet surge protector on these large units
and if so, is it worth it or do they really not do anything. Below is
a link to the one I was considering from Radio Shack. Regards and
thanks to all for your help.
