Protect Your Home Electronics

Our homes are filled with electronics. Appliances, TVs, VCRs, computers, and other electronic devices use microprocessors that are vulnerable to damage from common voltage problems. These fast-moving, high-energy disturbances known as surges and spikes, often strike without warning from inside or outside your home. While Hydro One Brampton provides a highly reliable electrical service, circumstances occur which cause major voltage fluctuations. Sources of these surges or spikes are:

Outside Sources
  • Lightning
  • Wind
  • Vehicles Hitting Poles
  • Animals Contacting Equipment
  • Other Power Users
Inside Sources
  • Freezers
  • Air Conditioners
  • Power Tools
  • Fan Motors

They can destroy your valuable electronic investments, cause malfunctions, or result in premature equipment failure. To protect your home or small business - surge suppression is advised!

Prevent Loss Of Computer Data With A UPS

Personal computers have found their way into homes everywhere. Their uses are countless - as a toy for the entire family or as a necessary tool in the home or small business setting.

Whatever your application may be, the loss of valuable data files due to power problems means trouble, time and money! Prevention of such a loss is a serious concern for most users.

Studies show that a typical computer experiences numerous voltage fluctuations and power outages throughout the year and can be responsible for the following computer problems:

  • premature hardware failure
  • intermittent hardware malfunctions
  • corrupted and lost files
  • unexplained system errors
  • garbled directories
  • inconsistent software operations

Avoid countless hours of troubleshooting! Protect your system from data loss and damage due to power problems by installing a high quality Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system.

Properly installed, a UPS is the single most cost effective measure to assure system safety, security and up-time of your home or business computer system.
