Is anybody using individual 220v surge protectors for the s7/s9s?   If so what are you using?

I am a little worried about trusting a 'whole home' surge protector because it's made more for big electronics (refridgerators/washer/dryer) than computers which may be more sensitive to spikes.
A single S9 pulls about 6 times the wattage of a refrigerator, nearly the same wattage as a washer running 24/7, and over 1/2 of the wattage of a dryer running 24 /7; S9s are "big electronics".
All mine are done with in-box protectors, individuals are cost prohibitive.
