Usually, the best (and only) way to eliminate electrical noise such as
that placed on your power line by your 'fridge is at the source.  If you
have a particular problem with that appliance, I suggest applying noise
suppression devices to it rather than to your computer.

Surge protectors which use Varistors (MOV's, a GE trademark, I believe)
will damp fast high voltage spikes.  Whether or not such a box will save
you in a Murphy's Law situation is not guaranteed.  If you require the
very best protection, buy a motor/generator.  Very high bucks.
