When A Luxury Becomes A Headache

2/3/2022 (Permalink)

A fire caused by this heating system caused damage to three rooms, and smoke damage throughout the house.

Air and heating systems make people comfortable in their homes. No matter the weather outside, every home can be kept at the desired temperature preferred by the occupants. As much as it's a luxury, it can also be a headache.

Too often, problems arise. There is condensation in the air conditioning systems that carry dust and debris into your drain line and drip pan. These can become clogged, and send water everywhere. These systems can also be the cause of major fires in the home.

Air conditioning systems and heating systems are almost equal in the amount of home fires they cause. Faulty wiring, dirt and dust collection around the motor, clogged filter, and dry motor bearings are just a few on the issues that could potentially start a fire.

The best way to prevent this type of fire is maintenance. Always have a professional inspect air conditioning and heating systems in the home, and change filters regularly. Should preventative measures fail, call SERVPRO of Brandon at 601-829-2162, and let us take care of it.
