Whether you paid $300 or $3,000 for your computer, you will want to protect it from harm. Lightning and power surges ruin computer equipment each and every day.

Signs of spring are just starting to appear here in Central Texas. One of the first signs is always to be the appearance of lightning storms. When lighting strikes, it can have devastating effects on computer equipment and electronics.

Protection

The way to protect your computer from lightning and power surges is to use a good surge protector. A power strip, which is a simple strip of outlets, is not necessarily a surge protector. A surge protector may look like a power strip, but it has built-in protection against power surges. You will find all of the information that you need printed on the surge protector's box.

A good surge protector should offer four features.

1. The surge protector should cover lightning strikes. Some do not. It will state on the package.
2. The surge protector should offer insurance to cover the loss of properly attached equipment.
3. If you have a regular modem, get a surge protector with an R-11 telephone jack so you are able to add your telephone line.
4. If you are using a cable modem, get a surge protector which will also accommodate your television/Internet cable.

You Get What you Pay for

When it comes to surge protection, you get what you pay for. Expect to pay $30 or more for a quality surge protector. There are many good products on the market. Two companies that have been around for quite a while are Tripp Lite and APC (American Power Conversion). I have tested equipment from both of these companies.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

When lightning strikes or the power is lost for even a few seconds, you can lose important computer data. So if you are running a business or using important data of any sort, you may want to invest in a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). These units give you surge protection and have a battery backup that allows data to be saved when the power goes out unexpectedly. If you are purchasing a UPS, look for the same qualities that you looked for in a surge protector, but also check the length of time that the battery lasts and the software that comes with the UPS.

Be sure to protect your computer with a quality surge protector. When that first storm or power surge comes, you'll have peace of mind for yourself and adequate protection for your equipment.
