Air conditioners, especially Window & split units using R32 and R410A refrigerants, are generally safe when installed and maintained correctly. However, electrical faults, gas leaks, or improper handling can lead to dangerous situations, including AC blasts.
In this post, we’ll explore the common causes of AC explosions in split systems and provide essential do’s and don’ts to ensure safety.
Always use licensed professionals for installation, repairs, and refrigerant handling.
Replace faulty capacitors, wiring, and circuit breakers with certified parts.
Protects the AC from voltage spikes that can damage components.
If you notice hissing sounds, ice buildup, or weak cooling, call a technician immediately.
Buzzing, burning smells, or hissing could indicate electrical faults or gas leaks.
Never attempt to recharge refrigerant yourself—R32 and R410A require professional handling.
Avoid placing objects near indoor or outdoor units that restrict airflow.
Low-quality capacitors and wires can overheat and cause fires.
Some users disable high-pressure cutoffs to keep the AC running—this is extremely dangerous.
If the unit trips the circuit breaker frequently, stop using it and call a technician.
While R32 and R410A AC units are generally safe, negligence in installation, maintenance, and repairs can lead to hazardous situations. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can prevent AC explosions and ensure long-lasting, safe cooling.
