Have you ever worried about your air conditioner falling out when you were

installing or removing it?

The risk of a window style air conditioner falling during installation, use or removal is
substantial since these units can be heavy and awkward to handle. You deserve peace of
mind.
A/C equipment caused an annual average of 2,346 home fires according to (NFPA)>
The NFPA data doesnt distinguish between room A/Cs and central air conditioning. But
the data does indicate that 27 percent of fires start in the bedroom, while just 11 percent
start in a duct. That suggests that room A/Cs are the bigger culprit. An earlier report by
the U.S. Fire Administration confirms this, showing that room units account for 55
percent of all home fires, even though theyre just 35 percent of installations.
Electrical and mechanical failures, such as a short circuit, are the leading cause of A/Crelated fires. Routine inspection is the best defense against electrical mishaps, especially
if your home has antiquated wiring. And make sure smoke alarms are installed
throughout your home and that they're in good working order.
You also need to maintain your A/C equipment, which will minimize the risk of fire
while also improving its efficiency. With room A/Cs, that means cleaning the filters once
a month during the cooling season, and replacing filters that are damaged. Also, regularly
vacuum coils and fins with an upholstery-brush attachment. And avoid short cycling by
waiting 5 minutes after shutting off the unit before restarting it. That will allow pressure
in the refrigeration system to equalize, avoiding stress on the compressor.
Ready for a new A/C? Check our Ratings of several dozen models, as well as buying
advice on sizing the unit to your space.
If you have central air conditioning, have a licensed professional change all filters; clean
and flush the coils, drain pan, and drainage system; vacuum the blower compartments;
and check the refrigerant and mechanical components.

The use of any booster seat will improve your child's safety, and likely his comfort as
well. Chances are, however, that a high-back booster seat will be better on both fronts
than a backless booster.
