Heard from a guy at a local car meet that most of those dispatchers only cover up to a certain dollar amount, so if something gets messed up you're kind of on your own fighting it out. Maybe worth asking yours what their damage policy actually covers before the next one ships.

That "two dumb things sharing one outlet" line is exactly what an electrician told me once, that breakers usually trip from two normal loads overlapping, not one big one. I read somewhere that a fridge compressor pull can spike way higher for a second when it kicks on, which would explain why the last 30 seconds got you.

Ha, my buddy watched a chef do that once, @jordang32.
