Neglecting correct safety precautions with some machines might seem trivial, especially if there’s no real fire hazard.
- It’s dangerous to know this mindset with anything that can overheat with imcorrect use.
Even a basic oscillating fan can get dangerously boiling if you use it repeatedly after it has become completely encased in a thick layer of dust. I disinfect all of our fans on a yearly basis for this particular reason, but it’s also a smart habit to form in the name of retaining indoor air quality. In the name of air quality every one of us buy whole-house air purifiers but it’s self-explanatory to forget that they need correct service to work for years to come. I have seen some downside reviews for whole-house air purifiers that I tend to prefer & wondered why. It seems that some people not only mishandle the fans inside, but the UV light needs to be installed respectfully. Usually there is a metal shield between the UV bulb & the wires coming out the back so the bright light can’t melt the plastic wire shielding. If the shielding melted it would cause a short in the wire & could beginning a fire. This happened to a few of the people who left downside reviews of this particular whole-house air purifier model. When I upgraded the UV light in our whole-house air purifier, I was careful to put the metal shield between the bulb & the bulb’s wire. Hopefully I won’t run into any complications with the UV light in our trusty whole-house air purifier. It is a huge benefit in reducing allergens in our indoor air.
