A Brownout, or Power Surge, Can Damage Household Appliances

Did you know that a brownout, or power surge, can damage household appliances, your TV set and even your computer? Such surges, or power failures, are more common in the summer, when increased electrical use due to air conditioning overloads the local power supply with increased energy demand. You can protect your computer with a UPS (uninterruptible power supply). Some people also use a UPS with their television set. Contact us for more information!
