This Saturday, we changed our second building’s outdoor light automation from one tech to another. The previous one was self-made, and it worked fine. In fact, it has many more features than the current setup, but it also comes with many requirements to work. So we decided to give it a try on this brand new device to make it simpler to operate. Initially, we followed the straightforward guide mentioned in the device; after using it for a few days, we noticed a lot of disadvantages in using it as is…...

When we were staying at the rental property, one incident happened. I explain that real incident so you can understand one useful benefit of having a Busbar in the meter box. I have my own online business. I was not going anywhere for job. I was just working from my home with my PC and internet connection. Everything went smoothly until one day, my computer UPS started beeping. Power is there....

Got the below question from one of our All-Access Pass Customer: Hi Arun, First of all thank you very much for sharing your experience and lessons learned in house construction. I am benefiting a lot after going through your articles. I am planning to construct a house in Kochi, Kerala. Two floor house for own use. I have a couple of questions about the electrical system. 1. Is Busbar required for home use?...

On the 14th of this month, we hired our electrician to fix one issue we had been adjusting for several months. After managing it for a few months, we decided not to adjust and fix that problem. We hired the same electrician who did our building’s electrical work, so he understands much better about wiring and all… Moreover, he is an awesome electrician who knows and does only quality work. He never compromises on quality work, no matter who informs him…...

I already hired a private guy to do my AC installation setup who understood the importance of the AC Vacuuming process, even at a higher cost than what I would give for a company installation guy. Installation was scheduled on Saturday with a private party. Meanwhile, I also raised a complaint with Panasonic regarding the technician. They also shared a direct contractor guy’s contact number to speak with him this time....

I recently bought an AC online for my home office. I guess it’s already 6 days over… Still, installation has not yet been done. After raising a support ticket yesterday, some technicians came but didn’t bring the AC vacuum pump. I noticed and asked them. They said, “we hadn’t bought it”. I informed them not to install the AC without doing the AC vacuuming process. They left immediately saying other will come and do....

A few days back, I joined Ramaiah Memorial Hospital (MS Ramaiah Hospital) for Kidney stone treatment. There they have two buildings. One is an old building, and another is a new building. In both buildings, the same doctors treat, but the charges and facilities differ. In the old building, they charge less for treatment, and in the new building, they charge almost/more than double for the same treatment. We have decided to join the new building....

I’m in my wife’s parent’s house in Mysore. I came here to take a break. This is something my Internet business allows me to do without waiting for someone else permission. And I’m writing this email from her house with limited access to the internet. Anyway… A few days back, one of my readers contacted me asking for some solutions to the problems they were facing. I asked our electrical contractor and responded to him....

I was going through some forums recently and came across the post below. Which is related to taking a permanent connection from BESCOM. (Don’t take some user’s suggestions on that post. Most of them don’t know what they are talking about.) -—- Hey everyone. So I recently constructed my home and I was initially using a temporary electricity connection. Someone I know introduced us to a guy in order to convert the temporary connection to permanent....

Yesterday, while writing about water level controllers, I found an Amazon best-seller product. Which is a water level controller… It’s not the product that I recommend in my blog post. It’s something else. Out of curiosity, I opened the product and checked what was special about this product. The only thing I noticed is that it’s a little bit cheaper than the product I’m recommending and has fewer features. The price difference is not huge…...
