Power Surge Protector How to Choose

With so many of today’s appliances in the home and the office using expensive electronic components, it only makes sense to invest in a power surge protector. But how to choose the best level of protection for your household appliances and business equipment and how many do you need?

“If a power surge occurs during the hurricane, you do not want it to fry all your appliances or start an electrical fire.” 

From basic power surge strips to advanced power surge protectors to expensive uninterrupted power supply (UPS). When it comes down to it, you have to decide what type of protection will work for your electronics and is it worth for you. Some people can not live without their computer or television. 

“I have a 42 inch plasma screen Philips TV that was the victim of a power surge two nights ago. The TV is two years old and cost 800 bucks when I bought it. Is it possible to fix a TV after it has been zapped by a power surge? Or am I looking at a total loss?”

 

What about a business? With so many businesses dependent on electronic equipment, how do you choose which device is best to protect your business systems? After spending upwards of $20,000, $50,000, $100,000 on such systems,  why would you not spend a little more and invest in power surge protection, too?

“Of course ultimately it’s up to the end user, but I strongly recommend purchasing the highest end surge protector you can afford. As an electrician, I’ve seen untold computers, light fixtures, appliances, and even entire homes and businesses trashed by lightning strikes on or close to the transformer that supplies power to their home or office.”
