Metal oxidation level will be much higher in unheated environment. Plus humidity level will be significantly higher which will negatively affect any contacts and wiring. If you don’t have other options, wrap equipment you intend to leave with several levels of blankets so temperature and humidity level swings will be a little smoother.
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
