Monsoon season brings relief from the heat but increases the risk of electrical accidents. Damp walls, water logging, and high humidity are enemies of electrical safety.
Here are essential tips to stay safe:
Proper earthing is your first line of defense against shocks. Have a qualified electrician test your home’s earthing system before the rains start.
Walk around your house and look for any frayed or exposed wiring. In high humidity, these can easily arc or short circuit.
Power fluctuations are common during storms. Protect your expensive appliances like Fridges and ACs with good quality stabilizers.
Never operate switches with wet hands. Ensure your switchboards are not on damp walls.
If you suspect any electrical fault, do not attempt DIY repairs during the monsoon. It is dangerous. Find an expert electrician on Tagid.
