In the digital age, most of our daily activities rely on electronic devices: from computers and smart TVs to smart appliances and security systems.
However, events such as blackouts, power surges, or sudden power interruptions can put these tools—and the data they contain—at risk.
The solution?
An UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), or backup power system, which is no longer just an accessory for offices and servers but an essential tool for home use as well.

What is an UPS and how does it work?

An UPS is a device that provides electrical power in the event of a sudden voltage interruption.
Simplifying its operation, it works like an emergency battery, ensuring a continuous power supply for enough time to safely shut down your devices or keep them running until the power is restored. Additionally, the UPS protects against power surges, which can damage the internal circuits of electronic devices.

Why use an UPS at home?

Here are some reasons why an UPS is also useful in a domestic setting:

• Protection for electronic devices
  A sudden blackout or power surge can cause permanent damage to computers, routers, gaming consoles, and other equipment. An UPS acts as a shield, stabilizing power supply and preventing costly failures.
• Data preservation
  If you’re working on your computer during a power outage, the UPS allows you to save your work and shut down the system safely, avoiding the loss of important files.
• Continuous operation of critical devices
  Some devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, security cameras, or smart home systems, require constant power to function properly. An UPS ensures uninterrupted power, avoiding disruptions.
• Greater peace of mind
  Not having to worry about a sudden blackout disrupting your devices or interrupting important activities gives you peace of mind, especially if you work from home or manage critical systems.

Which UPS should you choose for home use?

The choice depends on your needs:

• For lightweight devices such as routers and modems, a compact UPS with limited autonomy is sufficient.
• If you need to power computers, TVs, or smart home systems, it’s better to opt for a more powerful UPS with greater battery capacity.

Our home recommendations

For home use, ON LITE S.r.l. recommends the AKUA series, particularly the AKUA 100 and AKUA 120 models.

Conclusion

Investing in a home UPS is a smart preventive measure that helps you protect your devices, safeguard your data, and enjoy greater peace of mind. In an increasingly interconnected world where electronic devices are integral to our lives, don’t let a blackout or power surge disrupt your routine.

Don’t wait for the next blackout to take action: choose your UPS today and protect your home!
