Loading...This is a 2000 SQFT residential townhome fire loss. The vehicle’s battery was being charged overnight and the charger overheated, caught fire, and subsequently caught the engine compartment on fire. The furnace was located right in front of the vehicle and charger that caught fire, thus, it was determined that the furnace required removal and replacement in order to return the appliance to pre-loss condition.
The A-coil was also fully compromised, and due to the passage of time, the central air conditioning system required simultaneous removal and replacement.
