111: Protect Your Home from Electrical Surges

Informações:

Synopsis

Why should you care about electrical surges?   Okay, maybe I should rephrase this question: how much would it cost to replace your refrigerator or television?   Quite a bit of dinero, right.   What can you do to protect against surges in electricity that ruin electrical devices?   1. Add a surge protector at your electrical meter outside 2. Add a surge protector at your electrical panel…this can cost about $200 but is worth it 3. Add surge protector outlets where your most important electronics are plugged into the wall   Check out Leviton’s website for more information on devices that can help with surges in electricity   http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/SectionDisplay.jsp?section=61379&minisite=10251     If you find a new product you think our community should know about send me an email   jeff@homrepairtutor.com     Don’t forget…you can join our free Home Repair Tutor Facebook Group if you’re a do-it-yourselfer   https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/         HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!   If you like
