Causes of HVAC Fires

HVAC fires are caused by electrical problems, improper installation, lack of maintenance, aging systems, and storing combustible materials. To prevent fires, schedule annual maintenance, keep the system clean, install smoke detectors, have licensed electricians install wiring, avoid overloading circuits, store flammable materials away, and install surge protectors. Regular maintenance, changing air filters, installing programmable thermostats, using ceiling fans, sealing air leaks, and monitoring the system are essential steps to ensure efficient operation and prevent fires.
