Emergency Storm Prep

Preparing for a storm can make a big difference in minimizing damage and ensuring your HVAC system stays in good shape. Here are some emergency prep tips as we approach the tropical storm season:

• Secure Outdoor Units

  • If you have an outdoor HVAC unit, consider securing it with a heavy cover or a protective cage to prevent damage from debris and high winds.

• Clear the Area

  • Remove any leaves, branches, or debris around the outdoor unit to ensure proper drainage and prevent blockages.

• Inspect and Clean Gutters

  • Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear of debris so that water can flow freely and reduce the risk of flooding near your HVAC system.

• Check Insulation

  • Make sure that the insulation on your HVAC lines is intact to prevent freezing and other damage during extreme weather.

• Backup Power Supply

  • Consider having a generator or backup power supply to keep your HVAC system running during power outages.

• Test Your System

  • Before the storm hits, test your HVAC system to ensure it's functioning properly and address any maintenance issues.

• Seal Gaps and Leaks

  • Inspect and seal any gaps or leaks in windows, doors, and around the HVAC system to prevent drafts and water intrusion.

By taking these steps, you can help protect your HVAC system and ensure it continues to keep you comfortable during and after the storm. Need our help? We’re only one call away!
