Hello All
Can anyone please advise me about purchase of electrical surge protection sockets / extension leads in Spain. Our new house looks like being on builder’s electricity for an indefinite period until the grid decides to connect up eventually if ever. Not too keen on the idea of smoking computer, TV, etc. Are surge protectors readily available in electronics shops? Or do I need to buy a bundle in the UK (but will they work?)
Thanks
Elliot

Dont waste your time on the cheap Surge suppressors, in my experience they pop off regularly, for yourTV and Sky box buy an MGE UPS from Media Mart, 800VA model will cost about 200?, give good surge protection and keep power onto SKY box, TV or PC’s up to 30 Mins, no more of those annoying blips that knock out yur PC or SKY box
