Always avoid using any form of extension cord to power your air conditioner. As these can cause fires due to overheating.

Get your air conditioning unit inspected at least twice a year. This will help you to avoid higher-cost repairs later.

Clear the area surrounding your air conditioning unit. This is important because heat can build up and cause fires to break out. It can also cause a unit to fail.

You should always have repair work done by a professional. As this can prevent serious injury or even death, it is advisable to call a professional when your unit requires servicing.
