My friends' husband is an Electrician, and he said we all should have a surge protector placed in our home and installed before the electrical box in your home, in order to protect all those electrical appliances we own:

Your new stove alone if it has all the computerized buttons has a motherboard that costs approx. $500 (Canadian) to have replaced.

These are some of those items in your home that can be roasted by a surge:
stove, fridge, dishwasher, washer, dryer, microwave, televisions, workout equipment, water heaters, furnaces, computers-printers, sewing machines, shop tools, hair applicances, clocks, radios, and so much more ...

Our Local City building inspectors, now require all new homes have these surge protectors installed.

We had this done and the bill was less than $200. Well worth the price to put out - then you don't have that worry.
