“Monster” covers power surges- if your equipment gets fried through the strip, they replace it. For as long as you own the strip. No dollar limit.
Of course, there are exclusions- if it’s damaged by other means, flood, etc.
Not a cheap brand, but definitely worth the price if you have even moderately high priced electronics.
