Is $1,000 to install 3 unit-specific surge protectors a fair price?

Project Details

My current systems are Trane units, which replaced our Carriers after 20 years. I'm questioning whether getting unit-specific surge protectors is a good idea, especially since I believe the proposed bid of $1,000 for three is too high, as I know they cost around $125 each. I would consider hiring an electrician to do the work if I thought it was needed. I have also observed electricians in new construction putting in surge protectors on every electrical panel.

The technician suggested these be installed in the attic, specific to each system, as an alternative to relying on a whole-house surge protector. - Service: Installation of unit-specific surge protectors - Quantity: 3 units - Location: Attic, specific to each system - Purpose: To protect individual systems, rather than a whole-house solution
