In the past two weeks my local coop utility (Jackson EMC) has had two power outages in near perfect weather. Both times took place between 7PM and 8:30PM during the week, and lasted from several seconds to over an hour. Both evens affected not just my neighborhood, or my specifically tied-to sub-station, but a much broader scope of affected customers.
What is strange that while I cannot speak of recent times, I have lived from New England to Florida, never less than a year at a time, and never experienced as many power outages as I have since residing in the state og Georgia, and more specifically the county of Gwinnett.
While I have tolerated the occasional brown-out (once or twice a year), the increase and duration of power outages is making me nervous now that I have increasingly more expensive electronics in the home. As such, I'd like to consider something that could withstand brownouts or blackouts for the projector--most expensive component in my theater.
Can someone recommend a starting point? Both in product and expected starting area in terms of cost? This is more for the interrupted protection than the sustained operating use of said component.
