Just out of interest... we had a nice 'surge' thismornin around 7am... its completely destroyed one of my servers (used to be the proxy), so now having to connect using main server 
Also blew up the TV downstairs (it just wont work, replaced fuse but tv smells like burnt plastic), and also knocked out all the clock/alarms in the house!
Rang electric company before & there trying to tell me that the problem was not them & must be related to just our house, yet in work before I checked the UPS system on the works servers & that registered a sharp spike in the supply at 7 2 am...
Am I right in I can claim against the electric company & get it all sorted, or is it a case of trying household insurance & no doubt failing as the elecy company are denying the lot
well fooked off

Well you could claim under home contents insurance, but you'd end up paying your excess and may loose NCB.
Or you could take the electric company to Small Claims Court and try and get them to cough up that way. Just sending them the summons to court might get them to settle. Is there anyway you can get evidence from the UPS of the power spike occuring at the time you said?

I can get the logs from the works one, but I dont have a UPS at home 
work is about 15 min walk from my house, so is local
