Most times, people spend time thinking of how to upgrade to a newer model than how to protect their valuable electronics and gadgets.

Make no mistake about it this not a cheap power regulator as it is ten times better.
Power surges and stripes: Power stripes/surges are not power conditioners but act as a better power protection device from lighting strikes and heavy or low current, and not only does it serve as a power regulator but it is a better protector all around and works very well with a Power conditioner for an ultimate protection.
Cooling fans: I have seen many times where people run their home theater gear in a heated closet without proper ventilation and as a result of that their electronics burn out quickly and so you should consider buying cooling fans, as it is the cheapest way of cooling your electronics.
Unplugging power cords: Majority of home electronics owners fall into this category, as many of people do not remember to unplug their electronics after usage which in its own is a risk as most people do not use power strips, and so consider unplugging your electronics after usage.
Cleaning out specks of dust: This is one of the most neglected and one of the most important protective methods not used by many electronics users today. Most home electronics take up a lot of dust over time. Always make out time to clean dust off your equipment at least once a week.
So there you have it these are the simple five ways of protecting your precious electronics and ensuring that it last longer.
