There isn't a mandatory date, maybe a good way to look at it would be hours in service? Unless your power supply is filthy, it should last for years.

Yes they're expensive, no they don't last forever. Which is cheaper, a new surge protector or all new appliances?
The rigs with a hard wired EMS, can you replace just the surge module?
