It is difficult to imagine life in India's blistering summers without air-conditioners (AC). Excessive summer heat can cause a variety of health problems such as heat strokes and dehydration. Research into the dynamics of human sleep is also increasingly pointing to the conclusion that lower room temperatures lead to better quality sleep which in turn is essential for a healthy, productive life. This is why you should never compromise with the cooling solutions you install in your home or workplace. Since ACs are expensive machines, one can run-up substantial costs in their repair in case they were to get damaged. This is why Bajaj Markets brings you the AC Insurance policy that takes care of the financial losses involved during these damages.
