AC on the window, this mistake will cause terrible damage!
Air conditioner (AC) has become a necessity for people in the summer season. But do you know that installing it in the wrong way can also cause a big danger. Recently, many incidents have come to the fore where accidents like AC blast or falling have been seen. Especially when you keep your AC on the window, the chances of such an incident increase further. Let us know why it is dangerous to keep AC on the window and what we should do to avoid it.
Danger of AC blast
For information, let us tell you that if the AC does not get proper ventilation, then there may be a problem of overheating in it. In such a situation, the chances of gas leak and explosion increase. Apart from this, if the wiring of the AC is bad or there is voltage fluctuation, then the chances of short circuit and fire increase. In such a situation, the AC should be checked from time to time. Many times people do not get the AC serviced, due to which dirt accumulates in the cooling coil and compressor. This puts more pressure on the machine, which sometimes creates a risk of blast. That is why it is always advised that the AC should be serviced regularly.
Dangers of installing AC on the window
If the AC is not fixed properly, it may fall, which can cause injury to people passing by on the road or other people in the house. Putting heavy weight on the window can weaken the wall and grill. An AC placed on the window can become an easy target for thieves, which can endanger the safety of the house.
Ways to install AC safely
Get the AC fixed firmly on the wall and always check that its support bracket is strong. Get the AC serviced regularly so that there is no risk of any technical fault or short circuit. If possible, use a split AC instead of a window AC as it is safer.
