And if you care about what your insurance company thinks, whatever
you plug into the wall should be CSA approved.<br>

For new, quality UPS hardware, talk to the guys at PrimeSpec on

Breithaupt St. They sell Eaton Powerware hardware <br>
with pretty much any configuration you might need. <br>

This model is discontinued, but the replacement units all have<br>
