I have a small air conditioner in the room where my birds are. It is constantly icing up, so I went to inquire about purchasing a new one and having it professionally installed.The one I have now works, but ices up and has to be shut off until the ice melts off .It dosent have a removable cover so I can get in and clean off the coils, which are covered with dirt and I suppose its whats making the unit ice up.I was just wondering if anyone out there, maybe an air conditioner installer, knows if a new unit would give off any odor, that could harm my birds.I know some appliances give off a smell when they are new. Also is there any teflon inside the unit that could heat up(maybe around the motor ? ) and any chance of any gas/freon escaping into the room? This room is very enclosed and not wide open.I remember reading about someone who had a central air conditioner that broke down 2 days after the owner found all his birds dead.Seems some gas had leaked out and killed his birds.
