Hello RichieD, The highest joule ratings for home appliances are 2000 and above, but a surge protector with 1000 to 2000 joules will provide enough protection. Power is one of the most important characteristics of modern surge protectors. Rocketfish Support Louise www.rocketfishproducts.com/support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Surprisingly refrigerators do not draw much wattage I have an old cheapy plugged into an outlet and handling the toaster refrigerator etc. Some refrigerators not sure on what brand have built-in surge protectors so you cannot add on an additional one to it check with the manufacturer it will be in your owner's manual. If it does not I purchased a GE 1 outlet appliance surge protector and I use it on my washing machine because I lost out on my washing machine from a surge to know this because my microwave search protector breaker went off at the same time. The GE surge protector comes with a built-in alarm The alarm goes off when the item has lost its life from surg is overtime all surge protectors have an end of life but the alarm will go off to let you know that that has happened and then you get another one. I've read through reviews from electricians that talk about that being a great clamping voltage so I've purchased one for my washing machine and also gifted to my sister for her brand new one. The other big store do not buy Belkin a lot of them are catching fire and I would not buy another Belkin product cuz a lot of it is old technology like this unit that only has internet speeds through the coaxial for your modem at 10/100 you could also if you really want to protect your refrigerator buy a UPS power backup supply I have an older cyberpower 1500 VA model that I have all my electronics on including gigabit coaxial internet input with my modem some people I've read use them for their refrigerators They don't draw very much wattage but if you want to protect your food for a couple hours it will work. Hope I've helped.
