Default SECO's "Surge MitiGator" worthwhile?
My understanding is that SECO's "Surge MitiGator" protects your home's large appliances, but you still need individual surge protection for smaller electronics. I do understand the damage an electrical surge can cause to a personal computer, for example. But in general, I don't understand surge protection. For example, why is surge protection important for appliances that are not being used and are not WiFi enabled (washer, dryer, dishwasher, coffee maker...)? I don't think I'd be running any of these appliances during a thunderstorm. What about refrigerator? What appliances DO need surge protection? Is the Surge MitiGator worth the investment? Thank you!
