Have you considered adding surge protection? ^_^

Here, in California, in the boonies of Silicon Valley, the power
went out about 5 or 6 times for at least an hour in the last
month or two.

There were at least a half dozen or more times where the power
just momentarily flickered throughout the whole house.

So a "whole house" surge suppressor is a good idea, as long
as it has a feasible installation cost.

Have you called your power company about a meter base surge arrester? They install it and for a few bucks a month often guarantee your appliances against damage. Get on their website and see if it's available. ^_^
