When I wired my new house last year, I installed a transient suppressor
on the circuit breaker box.  I bought it at the same place I bought
the other materials for wiring the house.  It cost about $25.  It has
three leads: one to the ground bus, and two that connect to the main
breaker along with the hot leads from the meter socket.  I don't know if
it will do anything, but we're at the top of a hill, so we may get
some lightning nearby.  I think I got the idea to use it from an old
(1970s) Time/Life book on wiring.
 
It's installed so that I can't see the model number or manufacturer's
name; if you're interested, drop me a note and I'll get them.
