Avoiding power outage

[Hasjtag]

Hello my dear friends. 

Here is another question from me to you. 

 

I live in Norway, and I´m thus very spoiled. I have a iMac and a 550W computer, in addition to a TV turned on in my room. 

In addition, it is really freaking cold up here, so I also have my 1200W heater turned on. 

This leads to several power outages, as my rooms circut is the same as the bathroom. (hair driers, heating cables and so on turned on in the winter)

I wonder- is there a way I can avoid getting so many power outages? I have though of getting a backup PSU or whatever it is called, but I wonder if there are a more "permanent" solution. 

If so, is it really expencive?

 

Thank you!

There is only one permanent solution that would be reasonable, although probably not possible. Which is to have a bigger fuse. Since that most likely isnt possible, i guess the only option that leaves is to.. have less stuff taking electricity, or to have two different loops for the bathroom and your room, which wouldnt really be a reasonable option either.. So.. i dont really know except the things i have said here.

Maybe look into getting a smaller heater? This would save you money and stop the data loss, etc..

 

Otherwise, try to plan with your family and yourself about how much power is being used at what times, and how you can try to minimize the power loss.

 

Or, of course, a UPS is always an amazing investment in a situation like this. Check out this one, it is very cheap and just a great purchase in general;

A UPS (un-interuptable power supply) would be a good idea, How To Geek have a couple of guides about them.

If you get UPS, get APC.
