Yes, there are products which can be installed to protect your entire house. Your best bet would be to call an Electrician and see if they have any recommendations for a whole house surge protector. There are some people who say most surges occur from within the home and not outside, but frankly I don't know enough to say if it's true or not. Personally, I'll be getting a whole house protection system whenever I get a house.

Are brownouts a big issue for you? Because these are caused by a decrease in voltage and the only way to prevent them are to get a battery system installed (and it's not common to do so).
