I've got a very good surge suppresser to help with spikes, it's the 
power outages I try to prevent from possibly harming the equipment.

And I do pull the plug when it starts getting hairy. One time it blew 
out one leg of my 220 V. dryer outlet. Although Arkansas is not as 
bad as Florida about lightning, it does get bad at times, here.
