As Monsoon continues to give rain over various parts of the country, dropping temperatures are bringing a smile on every face. After dealing with the dreary Indian heat wave, Monsoon showers are being celebrated by all. We’ve already discussed the need to rainproof your house during Monsoon. We’ve discussed at length about the season of allergies. But there’s one important household component that we haven’t discussed.
Your electronic appliances are also at risk during Monsoon. The amount of moisture in the air during Monsoon is generally on the higher side. Thus it becomes important to ensure that all your electronic appliance are taken care of. For example, sudden power cuts are quite normal in a country like India. This can damage your appliances and thus it is recommended that you unplug them during heavy showers.
Cleaning your electrical appliances with a dry cloth during Monsoon prevents fungal growth inside your electronics. Don’t miss out on cleaning USB ports and your CD/DVD player. Excessive moisture can jam or damage your appliances if they remain unused for too long. Hence, another way of ensuring that your appliances stay ‘fit and healthy’ is to use them regularly. Even if you are keeping some devices packed and closed, unpack them and run them for a while every once in a while. It is similar to stroking your car’s engine every once in a while.
Getting your electrical appliances serviced before and after Monsoon is also extremely important. This will ensure smooth functioning of your devices and will help you get rid of the small problems which can affect your day to day usage of the appliance. If you feel that your device is not working properly, then don’t waste time and take it to the doctor (service guy) immediately.
Having an inverter in the home is also a major concern in the monsoon. The electricity cuts happen so frequently in Indian both rural and urban areas and people always look for a reliable option to tackle this power cut problem. In India citizens always choose having a best inverter for home of their choice to keep the work going in the season of monsoon as there are more chances of power failures in this season. But why is having an inverter a big concern during monsoon? Well, you might have seen in India people place their inverter either on upstairs terrace or below downstairs where the chances are high of water coming, and your inverter may get short and damaged. So, before the monsoon season arrives make sure you place your inverter in a safe place where water will not come even in the heavy rain.
Lastly, don’t ignore your gadgets either. Phones, tablets, and laptops also need special care during Monsoon. One way of guarding your precious gadgets during Monsoon is to keep them in waterproof cases. Even if you go on an instant photography spree, your gadget(s) will remain safe. So go ahead and enjoy the surge of Monsoon across the country but be sure to take good care of your electronic appliances and gadgets.
