When you work from home, load-shedding isn't an inconvenience — it's lost income. A properly set-up home office keeps you online and productive through outages, safely. Here's what it needs.
Proper power, not a plug spider
A desk full of equipment needs enough dedicated, protected sockets — not a tangle of extension leads, which are a fire risk and offer no surge protection. If you're short on points, it's a quick job to add sockets properly.
Stay online through load-shedding
A small inverter or UPS sized to your desk load — laptop, monitor, router, lights — keeps you working silently and automatically. Crucially, put your router and fibre ONT on the backup too; many people power the PC but forget the internet and lose connectivity anyway.
Protect your equipment
Load-shedding surges and Highveld lightning kill computers and networking gear. Whole-home surge protection plus plug-level protectors for your devices is cheap insurance against losing expensive equipment and data.
Set it up right
We design home-office power — dedicated sockets, surge protection and right-sized backup — so an outage never costs you a day's work. Get a home-office power setup or explore energy efficiency.
