I am one of those individuals who live far up North and have many power failures and power spikes .
I have recently installed a surge protector for the entire house .
I have lost brand new refrigerators , televisions , countless cordless phones , dishwashers and microwaves .
99 % of my newly installed receptacles are http://toolmonger.com/2009/05/18/in-outlet-surge-protection/

My audio equipment upstairs and downstairs are both protected by a panamax http://asktheadvisors.com/panamax/

I already have two dead circuits in the Panamax .
Multiple calls to Hydro One . They say their power is clean .
I have seen voltages as high as 140 during a thunder storm .
We are a small town about 60 homes all suffering from serious voltage spikes
