A Brownout, or Power Surge, Can Damage Household Appliances
July 12, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
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!

You may also want to buy a generator, as power can be out for days after a hurricane or tornado strikes. Contact us for your generator needs.
