Here are 8 Tips to Prepare Your A/C for the Hurricane Season



Hurricane season is almost halfway to end but this annual seasonal challenge is not far from over. If you are fortunate that no storm or hurricane has come past over your area then good for you. Now is the time to prepare and protect your A/C for any unexpected storm that may pass-by or hit your region. Here are some tips to prepare your air conditioning unit for any storm or hurricane:    

 

Tip No.1: Prepare for Power Outage.

Hurricane comes with lightning and lightning can cause a power surge. A power surge or outage can damage your A/C unit. To protect your home equipment and devices you can install a whole-house surge protector. However, during a hurricane, it is safe to turn off your HVAC circuit breakers to prevent damage from occurring. 

       

 

Tip No.2: Advance Maintenance Check-up.

Before a storm may hit your area have your A/C unit do a maintenance check, not just to prevent unforeseen breakdowns but also to keep it in optimum working condition. In addition, professional A/C technicians can also give you extra advice on how to prepare your unit before any disaster strikes.

If you are living in a flood-prone area securely elevate your air conditioning unit. Although rainfall won’t damage you’re A/C but severe flooding can submerge your unit and can permanently damage. Give yourself peace of mind by moving it up.

 

Tip No.4: Clear your Yard.

Go around your property and make sure nothing could blow around during the storm and damage your outdoor unit. Clear all items such as lawn furniture, bikes, propane tanks, and any material inside or under shelters.

 



Secure your unit by covering it with hurricane straps, tarp, or cage. Strong heavy winds can carry flying objects and possibly may hit and damage you’re A/C unit. 

 

Tip No.6: Secure your air conditioning unit.

If moving up your air conditioning unit is not an option, you can have it securely anchored to the ground. They can become dangerous projectiles and could endanger your homes. Another option is to bring them inside your home or on some type of shed.    



 Tip No.7: Review your insurance policies.

Familiarize yourself by reviewing your flood insurance before the storm hits your area. It pays to know what these forces of nature can do to your property including you’re A/C unit and be prepared to have your back covered.

 

Tip No.8: Call in the professionals if you have A/C problems or in need of repairs.

If you are unfortunately that your unit was flooded during a storm, it important to let it dry completely. After then, you should contact an air conditioning expert to check-up for damages or repairs.
