If you are a homeowner, all the belongings in your home are often covered, however, with electronics you may not have the coverage you need in the case of lightning or power surges that can actually do quite a bit of damage to your gadgets especially the expensive HDTV.

In order to insure the HDTV, you should speak with an insurance agent and explain you desire the extra coverage. Even with this extra coverage, you may still have problems getting the insurance company to actually pay for the repairs or replacement. The reason this is true is that many companies that will repair the HDTV, may not state that the possible problem was due to a power surge or from a lightning strike.

When you file a claim, you may not have the proof required by the insurance company to cover the damage. Damages done by fire, hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes are very easy to determine, however, power surges along with lightning strikes are not always as easy. In order to evaluate this problem, you will need a professional that knows what to look for and will state the repairs are required and why the set needs repaired.

With this proof, you may have an insurance company agree to pay the costs, but in most cases, the repair shop will charge extra to do this in-depth evaluation along with fixing the set. This money will need to pay as soon as the set is fixed and you may not have the money from the insurance company at this time. Insuring electronics against things that can cause damage can be worthwhile; however, proving the cause of the failure can be very difficult.
