A whole house surge protector would have to be installed at the service entrance. You will need to have your service provider disconnect your power and then install the surge protector between the main entrance conductors and your main pannel in your house. This will need to be done by someone licensed because an inspection will be required.
You'll need two empty circuit breaker slots on the main power panel/load center. You install two 20 amp surge protectors, to protect each power phase, according to included instructions.
Surge protector can be placed in the breaker box with a wire called the "ground" wire. You need to be an electrician and know what you are doing or be able to read good instructions. Make sure the power is turned off before beginning and electrical work in the home.
