The rainy season raises the risk of lightning strikes that can damage electronics and endanger lives. Here are three precautions you should know.
1. Install a Lightning Rod
A lightning-protection system directs the lightning current straight to the ground through a safe path, protecting the building and its occupants. Make sure installation is done by certified professionals.
2. Unplug Electronic Devices
During a lightning storm, unplug important electronics from outlets to prevent damage from voltage surges.
3. Use a Surge Protector
Surge protectors help absorb sudden voltage spikes and protect high-value equipment at home and in industry.
