A young couple recently became popular on TikTok after attempting to install a wall heater themselves. In a video posted on the @agus.bianco account, the couple shared their decision to save the installation fee of 25,000 pesos and tackle the job on their own. They certainly didn’t anticipate the surprising outcome of their efforts.
In the video, Agustín is seen drilling into the wall to set up the heater, hoping to avoid the costs associated with hiring a professional. However, when they turned on the device, they experienced something quite unexpected: every time they pressed a button on their television remote, the heater would either turn on or off. Agustín expressed his astonishment in the video, stating, “I tried to play a movie, and it activated the heater instead.”
With a playful tone, Agustín jokingly said, “What were the odds?” while laughing at the bizarre situation alongside his girlfriend. They took the incident in stride, sharing hearty laughs over the strange coincidence that not only shocked them but also sparked a flurry of comments on TikTok.
The clip quickly went viral, racking up 240,000 views and more than 40,000 likes within hours. Many users expressed disbelief while sharing their own similar experiences. One user explained, “Each button has a specific pattern of infrared light pulses sent from the remote to the device. In this case, both remotes share the same pattern,” shedding light on the unusual phenomenon.
Beyond the laughs and surprises, the incident sparked discussions about the importance of hiring professionals for electrical installations. Several comments highlighted the potential risks of attempting to do such tasks without the necessary expertise.
One user noted, “In my daughter’s room, we have the same issue, haha. With button 5, you turn it on and off, and with 4 and 6, you adjust the temperature, haha. It’s kind of convenient because they lost the remote for the air conditioner.” This situation seems to be more common than one might think, and some users have found ways to adapt to these quirks.
Comments like “Haha, why? How is that even possible?” and “Hi, I’m your neighbor. You turned off my TV,” showcased the shared bewilderment among users. Others mentioned their own experiences, such as having their air conditioner unexpectedly turn on due to interference from a neighbor’s old television. It appears that these odd occurrences might be more frequent in older homes or with outdated television sets.
