Despite having a whole house surge protector, I also use a series mode

passes through this one surge protector.
I also have one on the power to the TV/AV Receiver/DVR conglomeration.
Probably should buy one for the cable modem/router/printer/desktop computer
complex too.....
Nothing like like a "belt and suspenders" approach to protecting the
expensive toys.
It's more than "belt and suspenders" -- IEEE data shows that up to 3kV
can be generated on wiring inside our homes. So while that whole house
unit clamps stuff coming in on the power lines from outside our home,
it's good to have a SurgeX protecting branch circuits with critical
gear. I have them on my ham gear, my computer gear, my hi-fi gear, and
my XYL's sewing machines.
