New Delhi. One person died after the outdoor unit of a split AC fell on his head in Delhi’s Karol Bagh. If you are installing a Window AC or Split AC outdoor unit on the wall of the house or any other place where people keep coming and going, then you need to be careful. Let us tell you that the outdoor unit of split AC is often installed in the wall or balcony of the house. It is fixed well so that the possibility of falling is negligible.
However, with time, the joints used to fix the AC start becoming weak. The metal angle at which the outdoor unit is installed gets corroded due to water and sunlight and starts losing its grip on the wall. At the same time, the nutbolts that hold the outdoor unit in place also start getting rusted due to weather conditions. Because of this, cases of outdoor units falling are seen. Apart from this, the installation also becomes weak due to dampness or moisture in the wall. Let us tell you what precautions should be taken while installing the outdoor unit of split AC.
