We're thinking of getting a surge protector for our 17' SD. We've been looking at the TRC Surge Guard units; I like the idea of both low and high voltage protection as well as surge protection. They make two 30 amp units with virtually identical performance and price. One goes outside on the post and one is made to mount inside, presumably in the compartment where the service cord is stored...

I just bought a Samsung 55" LED, which will be mounted and will have access to its own power source. Components (cable, tivo, cd/sound system) will be behind a cabinet and plugged into a different outlet. My question is whether I really need a surge protector for the TV. If so, any recommendations for something flat enough to fit behind the tv?

So, my boss just purchased a new TV, which he wants me to set up for him. On the invoice, they have noted there is not surge guard (as I told him to not buy the monster one they were trying to sell him) and that the warranty will not apply. They told him when he got the TV installed and put a surge guard on, give them a call and they will remove that ...

Do you use a surge protector for your sewing machine? You should, if you have one of the electronic or computerized machines, as they are vulnerable to power surges and may incur serious (and expensive) damage if unprotected.

And I have no idea what to look for. Any recommendations? I've been using an APC battery backup/surge protector, but that is dying and beeping at me to replace the battery. I don't think I need another battery backup; a good surge protector will work. Thanks. EDIT: I have this one. EDIT 2: I think its dying because the lights for ...

Thanks for your thoughts. After looking at the dimensions of the inside unit, I think it would be difficult to physically mount it inside the compartment, make the connections, etc. Access isn't easy. And you'd still want to have the warning lights visible from outside (thru the hatch) when hooking up. Maybe the outside unit is the way to go. I noticed that TRC makes a locking hasp device ...

Don't ask me for advice (power is not my thing :( ). Read the UPS thread. Or get a surge protector from a respected brand name like APC/belkin/Tripp Lite.

I use an APC UPS. So far I haven't had any problems with it. It's pretty nice, has overload , on-ling, on battery, and replace battery lights. Also beeps alerting when it switches to battery (witch thankfully hasn't happened yet ).
