Protect your home appliances from power outages and humidity

1. Dedicated Surge Protectors:

 These can help shield expensive devices or appliances from power surges. These will be useful in areas where more security is needed, like a media/entertainment room with high-end audio and visual equipment.

2. Whole-house Surge Protectors:

It is suggested to install a whole-house surge protector onto your main electrical panel if you are moving into a new home or remodelling your existing one. This will provide every white item and electrical gadget an extra layer of security. 

Voltage Stabilisers:

As the name says, this is the most sought-after device used in our Indian household. A stabiliser's responsibility is to continuously monitor the steady voltage that enters from the power source and adjust the voltages if there are any anomalies. Heavy-duty appliances like TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and more utilise stabilisers.

Power Backup System:

Installing a sine wave inverter in your house also makes your equipment and gadgets more secure. The inverter functions as a stabiliser to reduce voltage spikes that often occur when power is restored during a blackout, allowing for a seamless transition.

Circuit Breakers:

Adding a circuit breaker to your electrical system is an additional low-cost way to safeguard your electronics. The role of this breaker is to trip in case of any surge in the voltage.

Placement of Appliances:

It is a well-known fact that you have to place your appliances away from windows or any area prone to water leakage so that the water does not come in direct contact with them. In low-lying houses and ground-floor flats, it is necessary to raise heavy-duty appliances like refrigerators and washing machines on platforms or movable stands so that during heavy monsoons or water spillage, the water does not reach the base of the device. 

Ventilation:

One of the key factors in moisture build-up is the unavailability of proper ventilation. While installing an appliance make sure that the space around the product facilitates proper air flow. Trapped air can lead to high moisture and increase mold growth.

Dehumidifier:

This would be a great choice to keep the moisture level inside your house at a desired level and prevent moisture build-up inside devices and appliances.
