I had several of these protecting my TVs and washer and dryer. We had a surge due to a tree limb falling in a storm, knocking the service line to my house to the ground. None of the protected appliances were affected. However I failed to protect the fridge, stove, dishwasher and HVAC , they were fried and I lost them all. The surge protectors were toast but I saved over $4K of my appliances. So yes both outlets. Wish I had more of these installed at the time. These were the first things I replaced.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Once the unit is tripped it has to be replaced. There is not an option to reset it. That is one down side
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is not one of those with the "Spark Gap" element in a replacable insert....but the green indicator is there to show when it's at the end of its life. This is not a Arc-fault-Interuptor "AFI", so no "Trip" relay.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure, but when I had a surge, everything that was not on a surge protector( refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, alarm clock, subwoofer) were fried. Everything I had on a surge protector, ( computer, TVs, sound system, etc...) were saved but the surge protectors were fried. Including this in-wall model. Now everything over $100 is plugged into a surge protector. If you don't have a surge protector on an outlet, whatever is plugged in is at risk.
