Using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
Computer power surges shouldn't hurt!
New Year’s resolutions can also include improving the health of your computer. For instance, is it safe from power surges or faulty power supplies?
Rental properties are often more exposed to this than other homes or businesses as landlords are not always dedicated to keeping properties in top condition.
This is when your systems can really be exposed to damage. However, every computer is exposed to danger during storms or in areas susceptible to black outs and brown outs.
We suggest you arm your computers with a UPS: Uninterruptible Power Supply. Also known as a battery back-up, a UPS provides emergency power, but more importantly it filters the power to provide a consistent power delivery to protect electronic equipment that can be damaged by fluctuations in power.
Ranging from data loss to serious business disruption, a UPS can supply power for a limited time until equipment can be safely shut down and the power supply restored.
UPS units can correct a variety of power problems including: power failure, voltage sag, voltage spike, brown outs (under voltage), over voltage, line noise, frequency variation, switching transient and harmonic distortion.
There is a UPS unit to suit most computer systems – from a single computer to large commercial networks.
