Mine has surged at least a dozen times today, I am in Trailwood Village. It's driving me nuts! Happened once while I was in the middle of a timed online exam! 😳😡😤 4951
If you don't have a whole house Surge Protector Device (SPD) (sorry, apt dwelling friends), I'd highly recommend you get one installed. You can get a decent type 2 SPD that protects your gear from both external and internal surges for a under $200. I have the Intermatic IG1240RC3 that runs about $175 and have never had an issue with it. In addition to the type 2, you should also have at least all of your critical/expensive gear plugged into a good power strip (type 3 SPD) that will catch anything the type 2 misses.This guy does a pretty good job of explaining it: https://www.stevejenkins.com/blog/2014/10/whats-the-best-whole-house-surge-protection/ 4951
