Well you had numerous small (but destructive) transients. What will
happen when the big one comes? Serious surges occur typically once
every seven years. Your 'dead' canary is reporting insufficient
protection. Others have said how easily protection is installed - at
about $1 per protected appliance. All appliances contain serious
protection. Due to insufficient protection at the service entrance,
you have transients that have overwhelmed that existing protection.
Listen to the dead canary.


Listen to the dead canary?
