Hi, I live a in a rural area. For some reason our electric (from the electric company) surges. I wasn't aware how bad till I lost a microwave. A washer, and I am sure the refridgerator was affected too.
Not fun having to replace appliances like socks.
Yes our company wants money to put a whole house surge protector on our line.
If your lights wink and blink be careful. If you can get a protector for one time fee; it might be worth the peice of mind.
Also about 9 years ago, we had a storm up in Phx.az that was bad,
the cable line brought in the surge and fried the tv.
Nothing else but the tv was affected. Cable insisted it couldn't be there line.
Oh well I had to buy a new tv. Was greatful no one was in the room, nor watching it at the time.
It was right over head and never experienced a storm like that before or after. Lived in the same house for 27 years.
So again, if you can put one one. And its not a ton of money, it might be a good thing to have.
