Did you know recent studies indicate there are more than 20 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the United States every year? If you are a business owner this should peak your interest since a lightning strike miles away can cause a power surge that may cause enough voltage fluctuations to affect your business equipment and building machines. As summer drags on in Connecticut and more thunder storms roll through, it is important to protect your business from power surges caused by lightning.

Having updated and high quality surge protectors is critical for computers. Look for surge protectors that are UL safety certified, known for fast response times and has a rating of 400 joules or above. Surge protectors act as an important line of defense for your data since it will allow you to properly shut down systems when the power goes out without losing any information.

In addition to lightning, summer also brings heat waves and when the temperature rises, so does the peak-demand for power. A spike in power usage, often as a result of air conditioning units, can cause a temporary brownout that disrupts power to your location. Depending on the type of business you own and the building you work in, a power surge can affect elevators, security systems, production machinery and climate control systems.

To run your business with peace of mind, invest in dependable surge protectors that can help protect computers and other valuable business equipment.
