With so many sensitive
pieces of electronic equipment in homes and offices you can’t afford not
to have surge protection. Did you know that an electrical surge can
happen at anytime and for a number of reasons? Storms are a leading
cause but it’s not just nature that can cause this problem, line works
and car accidents can also cause problems too. Cars and power poles
don’t mix and the two can cause a surge if there is power to be cut off
or restored. The cause of the surge can be out the front of your place
or down the street in fact just in your area a few streets away can be
the location of the problem that gives you no end of dramas.
Do you have insurance? they will replace
anything that’s damaged… I don’t need to spend money on surge
protectors?
Most insurance policies
will replace electronic goods – but not the information on them.
Your MP3 collection – GONE,
Your Family Pics on your hard drive – GONE,
Vital private documents stored on your hard drive – GONE,
your little one’s first steps you thought were safe on your hard drive
video recorder…
you can’t get that back.
It’s not the equipment that matters, it’s what is stored on the
equipment, and some things are irreplaceable.
Read the small
print on your plasma TV or electronic goods warranties, some say you
must have surge protection for your warranty to be valid?.
Surprisingly it doesn’t
take much of a surge and less than a second for this damage to be done.
Surge protectors are the best form of defence against these types of
tragedies. Take a moment to think about what you have stored on
electronic devices – then think about how often you make a backup…
It’s a small price to
pay to know there is protection for your entire household or office
