Mind Mapping - Web 140

Whole-House Surge Protection

It's important to protect all your electronic devices, not just computers, from power surges. Printers, televisions, appliances, and computer peripherals all require protection. However, it can be inconvenient to use individual surge protectors on all the devices that need protection.One solution is to install a whole-house surge protector, as shown in this photo. The device is installed by an electrician and is attached to your circuit breaker panel. Whole-house surge protectors work just like other protection devices, but they protect all electrical devices in the house at once.
