Caring For Your PC

Prepare For Power Surges

Fluctuations in electricity cause many problems with electronic equipment. Even our lights vary in intensity, although we often do not notice it. Computers are particularly prone to damage during electrical storms, as is any appliance with a chip in it.

A surge suppressor between your computer and the outlet will equalize the power coming to your computer and give it some protection.

Surge suppressors come in all sizes and prices. They don’t have to be costly to be effective. However, the more costly the device, the more protection it will provide. Some cost as little as $10, but inexpensive models do not provide the same protection as more costly devices.
