Whether you have just purchased a home or office, are temporarily renting or are considering a purchase, be sure to protect your equipment and calculate the cost of the protection!
To help protect electrical equipment and appliances in your home/office from electrical surges, consider installing whole house surge protection on the main electrical service to the home. This device can be installed by an electrician on the main electrical fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Install point-of-use surge protection devices to help protect individual electronics and appliances. These devices should:
Be tested to UL 1449.
Prevent electricity from being conducted to the appliance if the surge protection capability fails.
Protect all power and signal lines that are connected to the equipment such as phone and coaxial cables.
Have a working indicator light.
A surge protection system can't protect against all direct lightning strikes, but it will protect against most power surges.
