First World Technology-Belize

Sometimes it really is all about appearances. A first impression really carries a lot of weight when we are talking about luxury vacation homes that rent for $10K + per week. How would you react if this was how you found the main living room tv in your high-end rental? Let us help you eliminate the "spaghetti" and make sure your home presents the proper first impression. 😎

Continuing a post from two weeks ago regarding how to extend the life of your electronics here in Belize, we had first discussed the power-related issues that are common to Belize that tend to wreak havoc on your televisions, computers, and appliances. We also discussed the best devices to protect your gear. Today we will briefly discuss the second biggest culprit:

Problem #2- The Environment

As anyone with a home here will tell you, the sea is not particularly kind to any structure here whether it is made from metal, concrete, or wood. The ocean breeze we all enjoy here is tough on electronics as well, especially during sargassum season when a significant amount of the hydrogen sulfide and ammonia gas it emanates is added to the mix. This mixture will corrode the components of most electronics and cause them to fail at a much faster rate. The fix is pretty simple and inexpensive: DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR ELECTRONICS TO THE OCEAN BREEZE, ESPECIALLY WHEN SARGASSUM IS PRESENT! Close the doors and windows or place your tv, audio, and computer equipment in a room that is closed off to the sea breeze.
