Attention These 4 big signs are found before AC blast: Small negligence can cost the whole family heavily.

In the summer season, the heat and heat of the sun are making people miserable in entire North India including Delhi-NCR. In such a situation, air conditioner (AC) which keeps homes and offices cool has become a very important part of our life. But recently, a tragic accident in Delhi’s Hauz Khas area, in which a former IAS officer lost his life, and before that, the death of 9 people due to AC fire in Vivek Vihar, Delhi, has shocked everyone. These horrifying incidents have once again increased everyone’s concern regarding the safety of ACs. Often people think that the AC bursts suddenly, but technical experts say that this is not so. Any air conditioner starts giving some very clear signals before it explodes or catches fire. If we understand these early signals in time, then even the biggest accidents can be avoided and the life of our family can be protected. Let us know what are those symptoms which you should immediately become alert on seeing. 4 main symptoms found before an AC blast (AC Blast Signs) If the AC running in your home or office is giving any of the signs mentioned below, then become alert without any delay: Sudden strange and loud noise: If your AC suddenly starts making very loud, wheezing, rattling or strange sounds like something rubbing together while running, then understand that there is a serious fault in its motor, fan or compressor. This can be the first and biggest cause of blast. Strange smell of burning: If suddenly a strong smell of burning plastic, electrical wires or any chemical starts coming in the room while the AC is running, then do not mistake it for a minor malfunction. This is a clear indication of internal short circuit or overheating of the compressor. Sparks: If you see even the slightest spark coming from an indoor or outdoor unit, it is a very dangerous situation. This simply means that the wiring has melted or the electrical load is not correct. Smoke: Any kind of white or black smoke coming out from the body or vent of the AC is a sure proof that there is a fire inside and the compressor can burst at any second. In case of danger, do these 3 things immediately without any delay. As soon as you see or feel any of the above mentioned 4 signs in your AC, you should immediately take the following 3 steps: Turn off the main power switch: The first and most important thing is that instead of turning off the AC remotely, turn off the button completely from the power socket on the wall or from the MCB board of the house, so that the power supply is cut off immediately. Call an expert technician: Do not try to become a mechanic yourself after switching off the AC. Immediately call the company’s official service center or a professional technician and get a thorough checkup done. Call the fire brigade: If, God forbid, flames start coming out of the AC after a short circuit, do not waste time in pouring water or extinguishing it yourself. Immediately evacuate safely with all members of the house and call the fire brigade. Do not make this big mistake even by mistake. Many times, when people hear noise or smell from the AC, they turn it off for some time and think that it will automatically get cured after it cools down a bit. After this they make a big mistake of turning on the AC again. Remember, if the AC shows signs of blast or short circuit even once, do not restart it until an expert technician comes and repairs it completely. This carelessness can prove fatal.
