This simple device regulates the power that is supplied to your electronics and appliances. Surge protectors offer protection in amounts called joules. Generally, the more joules the better, as this means the device can handle one large surge or multiple smaller surges before your gear is in danger. Over time, the parts inside the protector wear down, reducing its effectiveness.

The Basics

The basics for surge protectors are pretty easy. Anything that is an electronic device or appliance should have a surge protector. This includes any valuable TVs, computers, gaming systems, light systems, sounds systems. These things are very prone to destruction if there was a surge in power. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to fix them after this occurs. 

Forgetting Something? 

We all think about the glamorous things when we want to protect the valuables in our homes. Have you thought about your health-related items?

You could be risking your airway if a storm took out your machine late at night and you weren’t able to get a replacement until the next day. Any other medical equipment or air purifying systems should also be protected.
