Blocked vents, dirty filters, and obstructed outdoor units can restrict airflow and contribute to overheating.
Regular cleaning, proper airflow, and adequate clearance around outdoor units are important preventive measures.
4. Dirty Filters and Accumulated Debris
Neglected maintenance can increase the risk of overheating and fire. Dirty air filters restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder and potentially causing components to operate at higher temperatures.
Heavily clogged filters can accumulate dust and other combustible material, while leaves, grass, and other debris around outdoor units can provide additional fuel if a
