If you're concerned about protecting your equipment in a house with
dubious wiring, perhaps you should be revisiting previous discussions
about using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) instead of just a
surge protector. A UPS will provide surge protection as well as
battery backup power for a short time if the mains power fails.

I have a number of various size APC UPSs here that are working but
need new batteries. You're welcome to one of them if you want to buy a
battery for it (about $30 to $40). Note that UPS batteries generally
only last about 3 to 5 years and then need to be replaced.
