I'm trying to decide between getting the service from my local power company or buying my own device. If all things were equal it looks like buying my own device would be equal to about 2.5 years of paying the power company for the service. The power company offers some insurance with it as well (I need to verify the deductible). That and when you figure surge protectors don't have an infinite life span I'm leaning towards just getting the power company's service.
If you're looking for your own, Smarthome.com has some very good units at excellent prices.
