Have Your Electronics Surged Lately?

Re-evaluating our electronics use at home or at work is a forgotten task. Many just continue to buy new products and don’t realize the impact it has on our environment.

One of the ways we show we are responsible electronics consumers is by evaluting our use of energy. A very important facet is a UPS. An Uninterruptible Power Supply device — or UPS — protects computers, modems and fax machines by “cleaning up” and regulating voltage, guarding against surges, spikes, voltage sags and power failures that can cause your equipment to fail.

In the event of a power outage or power surge a UPS automatically provides temporary emergency back-up power from a battery. Think of it as an extra safety cushion against power surges. And if there’s a power outage, it allows time for the automatic network shutdown software to go to work; the software will automatically save your work, close files and shut down your equipment properly — even if you’re not there. No corrupted files or lost data!
