Summer fires main cause is used AC units

The article points out that used air conditioners pose a significant danger and have become a leading cause of residential fires during the summer season. This is due to the deterioration of device components, especially compressors and wiring, which occurs after long hours of operation in high temperatures, leading to overheating and eventual failure, increasing the likelihood of fires. Despite the rising prices of new air conditioners and a 20% decline in sales, many consumers are eager to purchase used units through unofficial channels, which heightens the risk associated with these devices. Experts and technicians are calling for the regulation of the used air conditioner market, including technical guarantees and increased oversight of worn-out spare parts that threaten public safety and protection, in order to reduce fire incidents and safeguard consumers.
