In Reply to: Surge Protector ... ? posted by Bromo33333 on August 14, 2014 at 17:03:29:
A search here will bring up numerous discussions on this subject.
I am another resident living in the central Florida area. Surges and outtages are common due to powerful and frequent thunderstorms. We have had at least four such storms every week this summer.
Our house, which we built in 2002, has several rooms with audio and video systems. The dedicated high-end music room is protected by Tripp Lite Isobar units. The high-end theater room uses two Panamax units, one of which gave its life protecting equipment (the friendly Panamax folks replaced the surge protector for free). The other systems and computers utilize Tripp Lite Isobar units.
Since moving here from New Jersey 12 years ago, I am happy to report, not one component has sustained damage. I wish I could say the same for our central air-conditioning system, which cost $1,600 to repair after a lightning strike hit very close to the house six or so years ago. It sounded like a bomb went off, making us jump, and causing our usually brave border collie to start shaking. (The A/C system was wired to a surge protector during the repairs--an expensive lesson for us.) Despite the major A/C damage, the audio, A/V, and computer gear were fine courtesy of Tripp Lite and Panamax.
