I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't put freezers directly on the floor. Does anyone know why? They can't sit on the concrete floor?

:shrug: Mine has been on the concrete floor for years. No problems.

Ok. Maybe I imagined it. :lol:

no problems.........you ain't thinking about auto/marine batteries are you ?......:lol:

........you ain't thinking about auto/marine batteries are yono problems.u ?......:lol:

OH yeah...battery, freezer...I get them confused all the time. :rolleyes:

HA, I do know that they dont recommend you have them on a garage floor in case any combustable gases (gas/chemical fumes)are in the area. The gases will build from the floor up since they are heavier than air and when the compressor starts it can spark.

Battery/ freezer- same difference:lmao:

We have ours sitting on 2x6's to get it up off the floor so air will circulate around it better,but more so that when we do move it it won't be stuck to the floor and rip the linoleum.

My cousin Cletus left a battery settin' on the concrete floor and 4 years later it was completely dead. :jameo:

Mines been on the garage floor for 10 years, never had a problem.

YAY!?

I haven't had a problem with mine either but the question was about "NOT" having a freezer on the floor and why, I explained why they dont recommend them on a garage floor. Just like a furnace or gas water heater, how many of those are set right on a garage floor? Think they are supposed to be elevated at least 12"

It's all good. The only reason i know about the explosion possibility is being in HVAC/R for so long, if you want to know for sure then check the code for Md. as that is what we had to abid by when installing fosssil fuel furnaces in a garage, because of the spark factor and gas fumes being heavier than air they fill from the bottom up. Anyhow, 10 yrs and you havent blown up.....
