According to a electronics specialist at my local electronics store, if you unplug the power strip that these electronics are plugged into is the easiest way to help save the life of your equipment & save on electricity. I live in Florida & power surges are very common especially during hurricane season. He also said that a lot of surge protectors burn out after only a few surges, leaving you unprotected.
