Best Deals on Type 3 surge protectors for important TVs, Home Theaters, appliances and computers.
Expensive TVs, surround sound systems, home theaters, electronics, computers and appliances need serious surge protection especially with increased storm activity around the nation. I searched for the best surge protectors and the best price for these surge protectors. All of these surge protectors have a lifetime warranty or the any time return policy of Costco, except for the Monster PowerCenter™. Keep in mind that surge protectors can fail by taking the power surge hit for your protected electronics. It’s highly recommended that you provide additional surge protection with a whole house surge protector.
