Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Refrigerators and some A/C uints have been exploding and in some cases killing people.
Check the data plate on your refrigerator, if it uses R-600 or R-290 refrigerant unplug it now and get it the fuck out of your house asap! These things can kill you or your family members.
These flamable refrigerants are used because they are earth friendly.
Friendly to the earth but hard on the people.
Refrigerants like R-134a or R- 404a are safe and non flamable.

Good point. Changing the refrigerants may kill some people from the explosions but far many more lives will be saved by the reduction of climate change.
