Leaving your A/C on doesn't cause any problem. Its substandard wires, wiring and electric units that result in fires. In developed countries, units (not just a/c) are left permanently on for yrs. They don't result in fires because building construction is very regulated n inspection is done to ensure standards are maintained. Then smoke detectors are also compulsory with smoke alarms connected to the closest fire station.

Its good we all understand the source of our problem. Leave the a/c out of it.

This is for my friend David.
Always leaving his AC on when going out..all in the name of "make room chill"

My own is using my cell phone close to the gas cylinder while cooking.
In short, my phone is with me about 95% of the day. Toilet, kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, office, class, church, etc
Sometimes, I'll want to checky email... I'll end up in WhatsApp then nairaland... After 30 minutes, I'll drop the phone and then remember I was supposed to check my email... The punching starts again.
I need to break free from this habbit. "We" need to break free. I know "we" are many.
No bi only you oo. Exactly my habit. My pot don burn finish. I came back from work on day and put on the gas only to wake up. Omo see smoke.

Damn, those yeye source that knew she's fond of leaving her AC on always. If one of them don approach the woman and enlightened her about the danger of leaving the AC on we might not be reading this..Instead they are quick to point out she's fond of leaving it on.

I've experienced something similar some years back, my bro loves to have his room chilled whenever he comes back from work. If not that he dropped his room key while he was going out dat day, we might no be able to put out the fire and the whole top floor might be affected.. Na That day i know say fire no dey play, see escalation!!! I carry extinguisher enter room sef i no see fire wey i wan kill, thick smoke everywhere. Na water do am last last..



Shed more light on this bro. I really don't understand why an air condition will catch fire. Is it that it gets hot when put on for long period of time? What if someone is fond of staying at home 24 hrs and there is light 24/7 and the air condition keeps running for that 24 hrs, does it mean it will get hot and catch fire?

Then how does one prevent an air condition from catching fire as the scenario above?

More light on this pls.

This should be caused by bad wiring and erratic power supply.
Nothing wrong in leaving a on.
Is it not the same as leaving freezer or refrigerator on?

Putting on air con. when not available ain't any excuse for ignorance but a pure sheer display of stupidity n conscious outplay of security measure.

Hoping those still being cut up in this kinda web, will take a pie, before being dawned with the conflagration in the hardest way.

When next you are faced with fire caused by electric source, the first thing you do is cut the power supply to prevent further damage.

If you have used good wire, have whole house voltage regulator then theirs no reason not to leave it on.

The substandard issues we have in Nigeria is what is making us behave this way.

When I lived in Texas, I set my HVAC to heat during winter when I go to work and to cold in summer.

Nothing wrong in leaving your AC on.

Standard material, correct cable size and adequate circuit breaker would have prevented this.

Most houses are not designed to carry additional electrical load from cooling system. Hence, the fire outbreak.

This is becoming rampant. The regulatory body needs to stop people from installing AC in old houses and proposed building should be adequately design and supervised by qualified MEP personnel.

One of the benefits of a prepaid meter is that you can turn it off when leaving the house. This not only saves us from occurrences like this fire outbreak, it also helps us be economical with the way we consume light.

Who has an update on what Fashola is saying about prepaid meters?

Hopefully, it's something positive. My local NEPA maintains they are out of PPM until October and even then they have to backfill previous requesters angry

We're lucky that NEPA doesn't work well.

The day that NEPA has 24/7 electricity for 3 months straight, many houses will burn due to faulty wiring and bad wires.

Lol
Maybe they are trying to protect our houses from burning by not giving us light? grin

Fire has razed a two storey building at No. 21, Akintunde Street, Off Onike Roundabout, Yaba, Lagos.The incident happened at about 11:29. Combined efforts from Lagos State Fire Service, LASEMA and Rapid Response Squad led to the putting out the fire but it had razed the upper floor of the two story building.

According to sources around the area, the owner of the flat was fond of putting her Air conditioner on while she was out. As at the moment the fire started, it was reported that her children could not access her room.

And as at the time they were calling for help, the fire had grown out of proportion.

Lagos State Fire Service and LASEMA finally put out the fire.
