Hurricane Season Not Over Yet

Hurricane season is not over yet. The worst hurricanes happen in August, September and October. Are you prepared and ready? We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning want to offer some tips to insure you are prepared.

There are many things you can do to prepare for hurricane season. Let’s review the below items.

Step 1: Have a Plan for Hurricanes

Start by having a plan in place for you and your family. If you are evacuated, you should already have a plan regarding where to go. Also, get together a disaster supply kit that contains critical information and supplies if you do need to evacuate. Another great part of the planning process is to make a communication plan with your family.

Step 2: Review your Insurance Policy

You should also take time each year to examine your insurance policy. This can help you determine if there are areas that require adjustment or if you need additional coverage. You may even want to talk with your insurance company to help you determine whether you have the right amount of insurance.

Step 3: Take Care of your Health

When a hurricane is looming, make sure you take the time to ensure you have enough of any prescriptions you normally take. Remember, when a hurricane hits, it could be weeks before you can refill your prescriptions, so having several weeks-worth in advance of a hurricane is important.

Step 4: Check on Your Neighbors for Hurricanes Plans

Check in with your neighbors to see how you can help each other before and after the storm. If you are running to the store to grab a couple of last minute items check to see if your neighbors need anything.

These are things that can help prepare you for a hurricane. If you have any HVAC for any reason including the after effects of a storm, please call us Action Heating and Air Conditioning any time. We are available 7 days a week 365 day a year. Please visit our website. www.callcation.net  to meet our team and learn more about all our services and seasonal discounts.

Hurricane Season 2019 is Almost Here

Hurricane season officially begins on June 1st, but you don’t want to wait until hurricane season is underway to prepare. Even areas that are further inland, like the Tennessee Valley, can be impacted by tropical weather. The National Weather Service is predicting 2019 to have 75% of the average season. Hopefully this is a good thing, since 2018 had 120% of an average season. Here is an example of how hurricane winds can affect inland areas.

Hurricane Opal (1995): Opal made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane near Pensacola, before weakening into a tropical depression over Tennessee. The storm was still producing winds of 50 mph as it moved through the Tennessee Valley.

The National Weather Service has given instructions on Hurricane Preparedness.

Here is a list of steps you need to take to be prepared.

  • You need to have a safety kit ready. It’s recommended that you keep enough food and water for each person in the family to last 3 days.
  • Take some time to review your insurance policy. Often, we realize too late that some weather-related damages are not covered. In fact, standard homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover flooding. Remember to review your policies for your home and any vehicles or boats.
  • Take note of anything that could be affected by flooding, like items in your garage or basement. In anticipation of high winds, you should keep trees well-trimmed and secure things like patio furniture before storms.
  • Helping your neighbors prepare and plan to check on each other in the case of an emergency is a great idea.
  • Finally, make sure you write down your plan and any important details you might need in an emergency. Go over your plan with your family to make sure everyone understands what to do. Having a written plan can save you precious time in the event of severe weather, so you can act quickly and confidently.

The only Alabama counties in a hurricane evacuation zone are Mobile and Baldwin.

We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning hope that this information was helping in preparing for the 2017 Hurricane Season. Remember for all your heating and cooling needs, we at Action Heating and Air Conditioning have been helping folks like you since 1997.

Hurricane season isn’t over. Matter of fact September is considered the peak of the season. So, with a Hurricane still a possibility what should you do to protect your air conditioner because the summer heat is still as hot as ever through most of this remaining Hurricane season.

There are several things you should do before the storm hits.

  • Make sure that your unit is installed on a concrete pad. And secure it with hurricane

straps. This can prevent the unit from going airborne in high winds.

  • Turn off your unit before the storm arrives and also cover it to protect it from flying debris
  • A surge protector for your air conditioner is advisable so that powers urges from the storm don’t destroy its wiring and components.

After the storm there are several more things you need to do to protect your air conditioning unit.

  • Make sure the unit is not under water at any time during the storm
  • Don’t leave the tarp or cover on it.
  • Remove any debris that is around or lodged in the unit.
  • Look for external damages to the unit.
  • Make sure that there are no damages to the electrical or refrigerant lines.

Don’t turn your unit back on before running through this checklist. If there are any indications that the unit is damaged or has been underwater, do not turn it on or you could make the problem even worse.

We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning hope that this information was helpful. We all hope and pray that Hurricane season passes us by in the Mobile and Baldwin County areas. Remember we are here 7 days a week if you need us. We have been serving our area since 1997 with trained professional technicians.
