There are also things you can do to help protect the equipment on your property. Power surges can be caused by internal sources, like when major appliances cycle on and off, or external sources, like damage to power lines and transformers. At KEA, we encourage our members to install surge protective devices to safeguard your sensitive equipment, like televisions, stereo systems, computers, refrigerators, washers and dryers, and freezers. The safekeeping of your equipment is your responsibility. KEA is not responsible for damage that can be caused
by weather, normal operations, and equipment failure.

Helpful hint: a power strip is not necessarily a surge protection device. It may be acting only as an extension cord that provides you with extra outlets. Check with the manufacturer about what type of surge protector will work best for your devices.
