Not all power strips protect from voltage variances. Most are just outlet extenders.

Make sure you get a good one that will protect from surges and spikes, and keep power pretty even.

Out house rea,ly f,ultimates in winter when the furnace is one, plus the living room ceramic heater, and the washing machine going. The power strip keeps clicking when this happens,,and the lights flicker throughout the house while washing machine is working

This jusy started happening this year. Been ther several years, and never happened before. Had elect4icisn check fuse box, he said everything was fine. Tried to say that we needed all led lights, and that was what was causing the problem (because we had the curly cue non led lights, can’t remember name now).

Thing is, we always had those lights, and never had this problem before this year. we heard that another couple of houses in the area are having the same issues. Not sure what’s going on

You need a UPS for even power ;-)
