Install an Air Conditioner to Reduce House Fire Risk

September 1, 2015by Dave Bowen

A house fire risk exists with all of the equipment and electrical connections in your home. However, you can reduce that risk when you install an air conditioner in Burlington by having a trained and experienced technician perform the installation. There are important safety checks that need to take place when a new air conditioning system is installed to keep your family and home safe. The work should be done by a technician who is knowledgeable in the major HVAC brands, and carries Rheem AC parts in Burlington. Once your AC unit has been installed by a reputable heating and cooling company, such as LM Wilson, it is recommended to have the AC system regularly maintained for safety and efficiency.

Maintenance for your Air Conditioner in Burlington Helps to Prevent House Fires

Did you know that your air conditioner can become filthy with dirt and dust, which can cause a house fire to occur? Dusty filters and parts are directly responsible for making the fan motor of the AC unit overheat. Taking preventative measures, such as a house fire safety plan for your family, will help your family to know how to safely get outside in case of a house fire emergency. At www.wikihow.com, keeping up with recommended HVAC maintenance is a key way to make sure your cooling system works safely this summer:

“Clean, or have your interior AC coils cleaned, and replace your return air filters regularly. This will prevent the fan motor from being overworked, and also save money on your energy bill. For window air conditioners, never use extension cords!
Lubricate belt drive pulleys (where applicable), boss bearings on drive motors, and other equipment as needed.
Have the resistance coils or furnace burners cleaned and serviced at the beginning of the heating season, since debris may accumulate there while the system is off during the summer.”

Repairs may be necessary to keep your system from malfunctioning and overheating. Having a certified technician inspect and clean your air conditioner will help you to have a peace of mind and receive optimal cooling in your home.

Make Sure the Rheem AC Parts in Burlington are Working Properly

Your AC unit may be making weird noises or not efficiently cooling your home. Contact a trusted HVAC company, such as LM Wilson, to make sure that all of your filters and parts are working correctly. When the efficiency of your air conditioner is lower than normal, your energy costs will be higher and you may run into future, more costly repairs. Calling a professional service technician to repair your cooling system will help to lower utility bills and keep your family safe from a potential house fire.
