If you have a lot of electronics like I do, you may also want to consider UPS devices. These are battery backup devices for your computers, cable/internet router, TV, audio system, servers, and DVR.

They come in various sizes, 400W to 1500W, and will power your devices for a short time when there is a power glitch or outage. They also have surge protection.

Why bother? Further protection of your electronic devices. No, don't plug in your appliances or laser printer if you have one.

So, when the lights go out, you'll still have power for awhile to turn things off or shutdown your computers. You may be lucky enough to see the end if that movie or mystery you may have been watching.

My UPS units helped me during those power glitches a few weeks ago when SECO had equipment problems.

UPS units are available at Costco, Sam's, Best Buy, Office Depot, and Amazon.
