Lightning generates a lot of my business. We are into that season again. To avoid costly repairs, please make sure all your sensitive electronics and appliances are protected by functional, working surge protectors. Common missed equipment include your telephone and your refrigerator. In my experience, for our area the telephone wire is the "weak link."
Don't use those cheap bar plug units; use a real surge protector. ( Link to explanation of surge protectors.). The refrigerator may be the hardest to protect due to size constraints. (You may have to put the surge protector under the refrigerator and you will need a long enough cord to reach the outlet.)
You might look at whole house surge protectors. The link above gives you info on this type. I just got an add from Carolina Heating for a whole house surge protector: cost $339. It reads like this is "installed." At least this will give you a benchmark.
