Do Surge Suppressors Save Energy?
This is simply NOT possible. Surges and lightning transients are very rapid impulses of energy that are too fast for the typical electric meter. If it cannot be measured by the electric meter, it cannot be billed by the utility. You cannot save what you cannot be billed for. This scam goes back to the beginnings of the surge suppression industry in the 1970's. Many studies have been done by electric utilities and the results are conclusive: Surges are not billable energy. If any surge suppression company makes ANY claims of energy savings, they are preying on your desire to go 'green'. We believe suppression is 'green' technology because it saves resources by stopping equipment damage but......
Surge Suppression DOES NOT lower your electric bill.

Do lightning rods protect electrical equipment?
..the biggest myth about lightning protection?
...that lightning rods actually provide some degree of protection to electrical equipment!
When Ben Franklin invented the first lightning rods, his sole purpose was to stop tall wood buildings from burning to the ground after a strike. It worked! UL96A and NFPA780 are largely based on Franklin’s original concepts and designs. Today's world demands more with our reliance on modern processing equipment and our dependance on electronics to increase productivity. Ben did not have computers or electrical equipment to protect. He would have been the first to say:
'The installation of lightning rods will NOT protect electrical and electronic equipment from surges and lightning damage...'

Does UL Certify Surge Suppression Performance Claims Made by Manufacturers?
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tests all surge suppressors for safety but not for performance. For many years, the safety issues surrounding suppression came from their sacrificial nature. Lightning could cause the SPD to explode and even catch fire. This problem led to the development of UL1449 and each new Edition (currently 3.0) of this Standard raises the level of safety required to be properly UL Listed. UL does not regulate the literature published by any surge manufacturer. UL only governs the actual label attached to the Surge Protective Device (SPD). Published Surge Specifications, brochures, and the actual SPD packaging are typically designed to help sell the product. UL does not and cannot regulate this. As a result, we have found that most surge specifications are deliberately misleading and the published performance data cannot be replicated in a lab. The real truth can only be found on the UL side label attached to the device…
