Quoted from sponjey:My biggest concern is the unknown, but the closest potential might be a power surge. I have a subpar surge protector plugged into the wall. I can’t seem to find a consistent recommendation for one. I don’t have any open slots on my electrical panel for a whole home surge protector.
I’m just getting started, so $25k on 2 pins is a lot for me.
APC, tripplite, and belkin have an "equipment protection policy" or "connected equipment warranty" included with their surge protectors. Belkin has a $2500 limit, tripplite has a $25k limit. I'm not sure what limit APC has.
I've never had to file a claim, but I've pretty much used those three brands exclusively for power strips with anything I remotely care about. Not just because of their equipment warranties, but mainly because they are just good quality power strips.
