Woohoo electrician is here to install my whole-house surge protector.

@jonkulp I actually wasn't aware these were a thing. #NoteToSelf

@windigo @JohnnyNull this thing is installed inside the breaker box and it helps to even out any fluctuations in current, to protect sensitive electronics. I first read about it when I was purchasing LED light bulbs for my house. Somebody mentioned that if you were going to be installing a bunch of LED bulbs you should get a whole house surge protector or else your new (expensive) LED bulbs could get fried with the least little thing.
