Q: Can an overheated compressor cause a fire?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible. An electrical fire can break out if the compressor has inadequate ventilation. When it overheats but doesn't have a proper thermal cutout, this can cause the motor to short-circuit and catch fire. This risk is exacerbated if flammable materials, like dust and fallen leaves, are clogging the unit. The compressor overheating won't start a fire by itself, but poor maintenance and installation can increase the risk once it hits its breaking point and short-circuits.</p></div>

• <div><p>A spark arrestor is not the same as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-install-chimney-cap.htm">chimney cap</a>. Both sit on the top of the chimney. However, the cap keeps debris from entering the chimney, and the spark arrestor&rsquo;s primary function is to prevent burning embers from escaping. Some spark arrestors are integrated into the chimney cap, and others are installed separately. </p></div>

Q: Can splicing wires cause a fire?

• <div><p>Yes, splicing wires can cause a fire if the splicing is done incorrectly. This is why splicing wires is a task best handled by electricians. One of the most common mistakes made when splicing wires is not using a wire connector. Without a wire connector, electricity flows unsheathed and can result in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-prevent-electrical-fires.htm">home electrical fire</a>.</p></div>

Q: How to protect cabinets from stove heat?

• <div><p>You can install a range hood and use the vent to protect your kitchen cabinets from heat and steam from the stovetop. For added heat protection, homeowners can install metal heat shields to exposed sections of the cabinets. It is also essential to keep cabinet surfaces clean by removing any grease buildup that can cause a fire.</p></div>

"I needed a metal roof installed last summer, and this company was recommended by a coworker. They did such a great job, that I asked them to help me with a master bedroom / bathroom renovation. The project included a tile shower installation, moving bathroom fixtures, and leveling a 20x14 floor in a 180yr old house. Again, Andres knocked it out of the park! The work was completed in less than 2wks and looks great! I couldn't be happier with the results and the price was very fair."
