As more and more of us are turning to working from home, there is no doubt we have had to make adjustments to ensure we have what we need to get the job done. This may mean boosting your internet speeds, transforming guest bedrooms into a home office and even making electrical changes. Something that many should consider is the benefit that comes from a dedicated computer circuit in your home office. Simon Electric is here to talk about some of the reasons you may want to consider it.
What is a Dedicated Computer Circuit?
If you look at the circuit box in your home, there may be appliances and other power-consuming features in your residence that have a circuit that runs from them directly into the electrical panel. When you have a computer circuit, there will be a line of power that runs from your computer right into the panel and doesn’t power anything else.
Benefits of a Dedicated Computer Circuit
There are several benefits that can come from having a dedicated computer circuit installed in your home. For many homeowners, the benefits are significant enough, that they see a need to have a dedicated computer circuit for their home office. Following is what you can expect to gain from choosing a dedicated computer circuit for your home office.
– Surge Protection: The number of small electrical components that make up your computer are significant. When you have power surges, it can cut the lifespan of your electronics significantly. Sometimes, if the power surge is big enough, it can destroy your computer all together. There are small power surges that happen all the time, without you even realizing it. These small power surges are enough that you can see a real decline in the lifespan of your computer and other electronics in your home office. When you have a dedicated computer circuit, you have protection against these surges and will see that your computers last much longer than they would without it. This is probably the biggest reason you should consider a dedicated line for your home office.
– Power Supply: There are some computer setups that require a significant amount of power to operate. If this is the case, you should not expect these computers to run on the same circuit as anything else. You want to know that your computer is getting the power it needs without blowing breakers constantly.
– Power Backup: If you were to lose power, a dedicated computer circuit would give you power backup that would likely allow you to wrap things up before you lost power to your computer. You would also have the chance to shut it down properly.
