Will your hair dryer which works in the US also work in India?First and foremost, it is very wise to check this out before you travel since you may need the appropriate power adapter.Image Above Of Maxboost Power Strip International Travel Adapter Kit 4-Outlet & 5-USB 8A Smart Ports - Amazon - All Rights ReservedUnfortunately not all hair dryers are created equal and you will have to find out for sure before you go.If your hair dryer can run on 220 volts or supports dual voltage then you can use it in India with the proper adapter.If you have an older hair dryer, it doesn’t run on 220 volts or doesn’t support dual voltage, it may not work in India or other foreign countries.Note: Greg Burns has added a correction to my original note of 230 volts which is actually 220V.India has the British supply voltage of 220V. That’ll blow an American 110V appliance without running a transformer.World Electricity StandardsA special thanks to Greg.One thing to consider is where you will be staying in India.If you’re staying in a hotel, you might check with the hotel to see if they provide hair dryers in the rooms of their guests.Many hotels will either have a wall mount hair dryer or they will have them at the front desk.Even if the hotel has a complimentary wall mount, if the cord is short of the dryer only offer bare minimal drying power, you still may be better off bringing your own dryer on your trip.If you can use a dryer from the hotel where you are staying, you won’t even need to consider using your US hair dryer.However, if you will be staying with a private family, in a more remote location or in a location without blow dryers for guests, you will have to investigate power adapters.There’s a great page on Wikiconnections which provides exact details on using a blow dryer from the United States in India.Although I have no personal, professional or monetary connection to Wikiconnections, I’ve read their page on blow dryer conversion requirements and they offer very good details.I would just study their suggestions.I t would also be wise to check out the TSA website regarding traveling with blow dryers, adapters or similar devices to make sure to avoid confiscation at the airports.Usually TSA will allow you to travel with traditional blow dryers if they are checked rather than packed in a carryon bag.Multipurpose Travel Adapter KitOne easy option is to purchase an adapter kit you can pack which has multiple-plugs for different types of outlets you might encounter in India.Note: I receive no financial incentives for any products mentioned in my answer.Or if you know for sure what type of adapter you will need for your location in India, you can simply by an adapter for the blow dryer model you currently own.Do you still have your original blow dryer instruction manual?One other option is to dig out the instruction manual or booklet for your current blow dryer, if you still have it, and read what the manufacturer says about voltage conversion options.In years past when I traveled overseas, I would purchase an inexpensive blow dryer with the appropriate attachments and power converters and leave my more expensive hair dryers at home.If an inexpensive blow dryer got confiscated by TSA or even customs on either side of the trip, it would be a lot less painful then losing one of my very expensive units.The good news? If you make it through the entire trip with an inexpensive travel dryer with power adapter, you will have it for future travels or as a home backup.I applaud you for thinking about all these issues in advance of traveling.Best wishes to you.

No. You also need to know how much current in amps/amperage the device draws. This information is required to calculate watts/wattage.Most electrical devices and lights connect to 120V AC. Most washers and dryers need 240V AC to operate correctly. An electric stove/electric range will require 220V AC to 240V AC.W = watts/wattageA = amps/amperageV = volts/voltageFormula for WattsW = A x VEstimating Energy Consumption per Day FormulaDaily Kilowatt-hour = (wattage x hours used per day) ÷ 1000Estimating Energy Consumption per Year (days used per year or 365 days)Kilowatts per Year = Daily Kilowatt-hour x Days Used per YearKilowatt hour is anywhere from .09 ¢ to .14¢ per hour; use .11¢ per hour as an average.Total Yearly Cost to Operate Device = Kilowatts per Year x .11¢ per KwHMany devices and appliances will have an Energy Guide Information sticker or have this information in the instruction manual. It has estimated yearly kilowatt hours and estimated cost to operate the device or appliance.An Energy Star device or appliance has been cleared by the government as a low energy use and efficient device or appliance. There should also be a list of similar energy devices or appliances to compare to. This should help you make choosing the best product for your needs.www.energy.gov/energysaver/save-electricity-and-fuel/appliances-and-electronics/estimating-appliance-and-home

Modern vanity forces us to be inattentive to those things that make our life comfortable and cozy. Many people equate climatic equipment in a house or apartment with typical household appliances that do not require special maintenance. In comparison with an ordinary TV or a vacuum cleaner, an air conditioner requires additional maintenance and cleaning, since, during operation, an air conditioner passes through itself a large volume of air.The main causes of pollution are:Height of the location of the outdoor unit.Humidity and pollution of the processed air.After installing climatic equipment of any type, you should carefully study a user manual. Experts recommend that you independently clean filters of an indoor unit at least once per month. This will significantly increase the service life from 8 to 12 years, depending on the type of air conditioner.These are basic rules and instructions for proper maintenance of an air conditioner in an apartment or office:1. Cleaning a filter of the indoor unit. The filter, in the form of a grid, is located at the front of the control panel. It performs the function of cleaning the air from dust. Therefore, it is very important to rinse it in warm water 1-2 times a month. Otherwise, the non-observance of this recommendation leads to a problem with the cooling and drainage systems of an air conditioner.2. Cleaning an air filter. It is also located in an indoor unit of AC. An instruction manual will tell you how to remove it correctly. You need to rinse the filter under warm water. And only after complete drying, install it back. This procedure must be carried out once a month.3. Cleaning coils. The heat exchanger (coils) needs to be cleaned once a year with a special brush and detergent. Also, close to the coils, there’s a fan that also needs to be cleaned.4. Control over leakage of freon. The main signs of a leak:Formation of frost on an external unit at connection points.Poor air cooling quality.If you have discovered one of the signs above, you need to contact a specialist.An interesting fact that many modern air conditioners are equipped with an automatic cleaning function, but this function does not apply filter cleaning. Moreover, you may find this information interesting.
