According to reports, there was a massive fire at a residential complex in Noida due to an AC blast. Here are some precautions to take.
Make sure to get your AC checked as summer is here. Get an expert technician to check your air conditioner.
On hot days, when the AC demand is high, make sure you give breaks between usage, especially at night.
Never plug your ACs into an extension cord. Heavy load on the AC can lead to wire melting and catching fire.
Maintain proper coolant levels in your AC to prevent overheating and explosions.
Do not allow birds, sticks, stones or any other garbage to collect on or around your AC. These can cause disruptions in voltage supply.
Listen to your AC very carefully. Call a technician immediately if it is making a bubbling sound or not cooling properly.
Always be on your guard when using AC during the summer months. An overworked compressor can emit a burning smell.
