🌧️ To Our Friends, Families, and Neighbors Across Our Community 🌧️
As we brace this severe storms and flooding, our thoughts are with everyone in the path of this weather. Please make your safety—and your family’s safety—your top priority.
Here are a few tips to help protect your home and HVAC system before, during, and after the storm:
⚠️ For the Storm
✅ Charge your phones and flashlights.
✅ Secure loose outdoor furniture and debris that could damage your A/C unit.
✅ If flooding is expected around your home, turn off power to your HVAC equipment at the breaker if it is safe to do so.
✅ If you have a whole-home surge protector, verify it’s functioning properly. If not, unplug sensitive electronics.
⚡ During the Storm
• Never touch electrical equipment if you’re standing in water.
• Avoid running your A/C if your electrical service is unstable or repeatedly losing power.
• If the power is flickering frequently, it’s often best to turn your thermostat off until power has stabilized to help protect your equipment.
🌊 After the Storm
❌ Do NOT turn your A/C back on if the outdoor unit or indoor equipment has been submerged in floodwater. Water can damage electrical components and create serious safety hazards.
✔️ Inspect your outdoor unit for branches, debris, or mud before restarting it.
✔️ If your breaker has tripped, don’t continue resetting it. Have the system inspected first.
✔️ If your system was exposed to flooding or a lightning strike, have it professionally evaluated before operating it.
⚡ Lightning can damage HVAC systems even when there isn’t a direct strike. If your system suddenly won’t start, is displaying unusual errors, or isn’t cooling after the storm, electrical components may have been affected.
Most importantly, your safety comes first. Property can be repaired or replaced—people cannot.
If you have questions after the storm or simply aren’t sure whether it’s safe to operate your HVAC system, don’t hesitate to reach out.
