Fall is here and before long, winter will be well on its way. As the days shorten, the weather gets cold and stormy and the time comes to hunker down for the long, cold spell that means protecting ourselves from the elements both inside and out. So grab some hot cocoa as we share one of our favorite tips for winterizing your home technologies.
Our first and most important tip is to invest in a UPS, also known as uninterruptable power supply. A UPS protects you from power outages, as well as providing you with energy savings. It will protect your computer and the data on it like photos, finances, music, videos, which in many cases is irreplaceable. On top of the power spike protection, having your computer on a UPS allows you to gracefully shut down your system, preventing lost work.
UPS’s used to be big, chunky blocks that took up a bunch of legroom under your desk. Times have changed and so have they. Welcome to the world of sleek, savvy and sophisticated power protection with Eaton’s new 3S battery backup. The ideal solution for home office/small office computers and accessories, networking and VoIP systems, and home entertainment devices. It will help keep those winter electric bills low, since the 3S features EcoControl for 30 percent greater energy savings than a typical battery backup.
The 3S is a wall mount unit that can also be placed under a desk or in an entertainment center. It is designed to be easy to use, and includes an HID compliant USB port for automatic integration with Windows, Mac and Linux. That means you can just connect it right up to your PC and you are in business- no extra drivers to worry about installing.
In addition to being the power center for your PC, the 3S UPS can be used for home theater and entertainment equipment, video games, flat Screens, satellite systems and stereos. The unit has graceful shut down capability for connected devices, so no sudden power drop. If you are a musician with lots of expensive gear or have other electronic goodies, it will keep those safe as well.
When the icy winds are blowing outside, you can stay cozy and know your gadgets and gear are safely protected if you add a UPS to your winterizing list. Plus let’s face it – a hot summer with all the air conditioners running cases spikes and brown outs in the grid too, so you really need have you gear on a UPS all the time.
