I dont know what exactly you put in your houses since i know we dont use same sockets in Europe or have the same voltage? i think...
But you have to have something like this. 
If you have the old kind, that might be the problem since when we replaced the old ones now we have 0 issues. They are super sensitive and just flip on any power surge.
we got those, yeah... breakers... but I suspect ours might be fakenewsing us, they are old too..
Breakers in the U.S. are not surge sensitive unless you use GFI breakers, and those are not designed for surge protection.
hrmmm good to know...
that explains a lot
