The summer months of July and August are when families in Dubai commonly take time to go on vacation for longer periods of time. Typically these months are always when we witness the highest temperatures and harshest conditions and it is then that we need to consider some precautions to protect our properties.
To prevent issues occurring when you go away on vacation during the summer, we suggest taking the following precautions:
- Close blinds or curtains - in addition to the privacy this will reduce internal temperature
- Shut off all water valves in bathrooms & kitchens including the hand held toilet hoses
- Turn off at the wall and unplug all appliances with the exception of the fridge/freezer
- Keep all internal doors closed
- Switch of electricity supply by the mains in the circuit board
- Set AC control on low fan at 23/24 degrees to control the temperature and humidity
- Protect outdoor furniture from the sun with either covers or moving to a shaded area
- Ensure all your inside and outside bins are emptied
As well as looking after your property don't forget about your loved ones and prized possessions! Make arrangements for your pets whilst you are away and for your garden and indoor plants to be well watered during this hotter time of year. Also don't leave around the home and garden any obvious valuables whilst you are away.
Remember prevention is the best cure ! The team at Exclusive Links wish you a safe summer.
