ThisOldHouse.com provides in-depth information about surge protection, the two main types of surges, the best defense and more.
The two main power surges you need to be aware of to protect your home appliances and electronics are lightning strikes and downed power lines. Lightning induced surges are the most fearful and powerful. Fortunately these are not the most common type of surge.
