Will audio gear be ok in unheated house


I have a cottage.   I drain the pipes and the house is left unheated over the winter.  I have been taking my audio gear home (except for the speakers)  when I leave in the fall  for theft worries, but  mostly because I am not sure  the equipment will be OK in an unheated house in an often damp environment until the late spring when I return.

It is a pain taking it back and forth and I would prefer to leave it there.  Maybe in garbage bags with some bags of dessicant in the garbage bags.

Anybody have any experience with this.  I have been unable to find a good answer searching the web.

 

Thanks

Rather than using garbage bags, use moving size cling wrap to wrap your gear. It can be purchased on Amazon or at Home Depot. The 20" wide rolls work well for audio components and speakers. I use it to store my audio equipment that is not currently being used. I wrap two or three turns length wise and width wise and it forms a good tight seal that will keep out insects and moisture from anything short of full on flood submergence. I also use it for extra shipping protection when I sell gear.
