At their last event I took a pile of stuff that HELCO burned up over the past few years, 5 TV's, several computers, printers, etc.
They took everything, almost a small pickup load, no questions asked.
Ouch. Sounds like you need some UPS and/or surge protection.
Several years ago an electrician recommended this product to me. As outlets need to be replaced it's something to consider:

I don't remember the explanation any more... surge protection has less to do with total joules than it does with something else that I've forgotten.
The outlet barely fits into a standard box. If a GFCI unit fits, the surge protector should too.
