I recently put in a claim to ComEd here in a suburb of Chicago for a burnt out

failed
immediately afterwards costing me about $150 to repair. They claim there was
no negligence on their part and denied payment. We have had more than our share

of power outages in my immediate area, and this one happened on a clear weather
night with no high winds. I have put power surge protectors on most of my
electronics
but failed to cover my stove. I'm not sure it even would have helped, but I
shouldn't
have to put protectors on every outlet in my home. I think they owe me.

Hi,
How old is your house wiring? Electronic devices by design contains
basic protection from ssurge, etc. Good grounding throughout the house
is a must.
