Shield Your Valuable Electronics With Surge Protectors
A combination surge protector and power strip serves two important functions. It protects electronics from power surges that inclement weather and other electrical issues can cause. Secondly, it can expand your power capabilities by offering multiple outlets in one strip.
At Lowe’s, we sell surge protectors in a variety of sizes with anywhere from two to 12 outlets. For computers, phones and other essential appliances, battery-backup surge protectors both protect your electronics from surges and keep them powered up while the electricity is out.
For places where you typically need multiple power outlets, like a home office or media room, consider wall-mounted power strips from brands such as Tripp Lite. The mount can help to keep cords neatly organized and out of sight yet accessible. Like other power strips, these guard against circuit overloads, protecting electronics like flat-screen televisions and computers.
When shopping for a power strip, make sure to note whether it’s also a surge protector, as not all power strips are. You can find this information on the package or in the product details on Lowes.com. We carry a wide range of surge protectors and power strips from such brands as Southwire, Belkin and APC.
