Spring is right around the corner in Ohio! Time to turn off those heaters, get ready for some sun, and say goodbye to the snow. Winters in Warren can be brutal so there’s no denying there’s excitement towards the Springtime. However, with this warmer weather comes a new fire hazard, your Air Conditioner.

Here are some ways your Air Conditioner could cause you problems, and how to prevent them from happening in your Warren Home:

• Your Air Conditioner Isn’t Clean

Cleaning your Air Conditioner properly is very important to making sure it doesn’t spark a fire. Accumulation of dust and dirt in your air ducts could be ignited. It could also create some blockage in air flow that could harm your unit.

• Cluttered Space

This is another important situation to avoid. Cluttering up the space around your Air Conditioner can be dangerous, especially if the items are flammable. Keep at least 3 feet of space between any items and your AC.

• Faulty/Loose Parts

This last measure may be most important to keep in mind. Faulty connections, loose gas lines, and exposed wires are all MAJOR fire hazards. It’s important to check your AC unit frequently to see if it needs maintenance.
