I am completing my house in Sosua, and the thread on surge protection has me feeling vulnerable. I have 3 new lcd tvs, computers, new fridge, washer, dryer and god knows what else.

Can the experts agree on a company or individual with whom I can consult about which inverter, grounding, surge protection, etc?

Thanks - D

First off, you need to ground your entire house. This is the most importnat single thing you can do. This is not highly technical stuff, but very seldome done here.

Next, have everything that is REALLY important go through a spike bar and a voltage regulator...they are small and can be put out of the way...

Best work I have seen on the North Coast, actually the entire DR is by a guy from Belgium that lives in Sosua. He has great pricing and really knows his stuff. Send Curt at "curt@dr1.com" an email, he has his details.

spike bar=grounding post
It's about 5/8" diameter and 6 feet long, copper coated.
This gets driven into the ground (earth). Make sure when you purchase the spike you also get the clamp. Once spike is hammered into the earth as deep as you can, attach the clamp with your "ground" wire. This wire then is secured to your panel box.

If none of these resources pan out, get a hold of me. I am a certified electrician with a business starting up on the north coast.

Best of luck
