Storm Season is here again

Power Surges hit local computers!

Summer Storm season is here again and a lot of people still don’t have power protection for their computers and other expensive electronic equipment. We are seeing an increase in the number of computers damaged by power events – lightning strikes and large fluctuations in power (ie dirty power). A surge protection device is still the best insurance policy to guard against power surges, spikes & fluctuations in power.

There are plenty of different levels of protection and it comes down to “You get what you pay for. The $50 surge protectors are a great starting point with up to 6 outlets, telephone protection and 1 year warranty.

The best protection for your computer is an “Uninterruptible Power Supply” or UPS, which are priced from $149. They have all the features of a surge protector plus have a battery that supplies power to your computer in the event of power disruption or black outs. This gives you enough time to shutdown your computer and prevent loss or corruption to data and also to protect against hardware damage.
