If you have HDDs even if they have security for that it's not impossible that a power cut can damage it, but don't worry it's really rare. For the rest you are fine.

It depends, considering they are changing out the wires it isn't impossible that someone does some stupid shit and causes a power surge;

I'd recommend unplugging basically any expensive electronic that you care about until they are finished, just to be safe

#

If you do use anything, make sure it's through a surge protector

Definitely get a surge protector, sudden shutdowns are not good for electrical components. You can cause damage to your system.

Thanks for the replies guys ๐Ÿ˜Š

I have ups so I guess I'm protected from power surges.

Everyone has very different opinions on this matter so it made me confused. This happens very rarely my ups give me enough time to shut down but if the system is on full load then my ups can't headle even for 10secs.

you might want a bigger UPS if it doesnt last long at full load
