⚡ Intermatic IG1240RC3: Gray Whole Home Surge Protection Device - Type-1 or 2 Review

I'm not sure if my title reminds us of the movie "Back to the Future" but the real test for this one product is to see if it will really protect your home electronics from power surges or surges or near lightning strikes. There are no problems with the seller. Arrived as promised, in good condition and anyone with basic electrical skills and handy fuse box wiring should have no problem installing it. The device is installed and working. I really get to know how the product works or if it only…

Seems to be a good product at a very good price. An electrician was recommended to me. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE CONTROL PANEL SAFELY, CONSULT THE ELECTRICIAN TO INSTALL. IT TAKES 5-10 MINUTES). If you understand your control cabinet and trust that you can work safely in the control cabinet, installation is very easy. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH. You need to connect it to a 2 pole switch (this is the type that sometimes looks like 2 switches connected by a handle. Still can't…

I'm not sure about this device. It was installed for about a year and then apparently we had a nearby surge or strike when there was no one in the house going down the line and coming into the house. After the power supply in an iMac was found dead along with the air handling motor and transformer in a nearly new air conditioner that was a bit dusty, I examined the unit and found it had exploded.

Bought 2 of them; one is installed outside between the generator and the house (if this happens again, no high voltage is allowed into the house); and the other is installed outside when the generator/power company is off for surge protection by the power company…

I bought this surge protector for my whole house after a massive snow storm tore down huge branches on my power line and destroyed the neutral wire. The resulting surge damaged multiple appliances, fluorescent lights and fixtures, and EVERY surge protector in the home. Several of these network filters caught fire. Fortunately, most of them protect their devices. Lesson: Don't buy cheap surge protectors. I replaced them all with high quality devices. While the electrician was installing the…

I bought this as a discount item which was said to be used but in good condition. When I first installed it I had a suspicion that it wasn't good as I couldn't see the green status light in the bright sunlight. However, I returned in the dark and saw from a different angle, and indeed the light was on. However, after a few months I found that I could no longer see any light, even in total darkness, which indicated that the device needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, when I tried to remove the…
