Secondly, has
anyone had any luck with going through the power company to pay for some
of this damage (the air filter is maybe 6 mos. old) or is homeowner's
insurance the place to start? If the latter, I might be tempted to pay
out of pocket to avoid a rate increase.

No experience here,but I would contact the power company first.

Yeah, I will do that tomorrow once I have a chance to try all the
major appliances, I still haven't tried the dishwasher, washing
machine, or dryer, although the only failures so far seem to be the
air filter and the one surge strip, which based on the date on the
back was over 10 years old anyway.


OK, well, let me rephrase that. The only failures are the air filter,
one surge strip, and the dishwasher, which was installed literally the
week before we bought the house. Grr. So there will be no cleaning
of the furnace filters today.

I haven't tried the A/C yet either, which is also new.

The washer (ancient) and dryer (new) seem to be OK.

This could be an expensive experience.
