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.
