Living on the beach has its perks, but it also comes with the risk of severe weather, including hurricanes. Protecting your home and HVAC system from potential damage is essential for staying safe and comfortable during storm season. At Bateman Heating and Air, we offer platform installations to safeguard your AC unit and provide expert advice on preventative care. Here's how you can prepare your HVAC system for hurricane season:
1. Platform Installation
Elevating your outdoor HVAC unit on a platform can help protect it from flooding and storm surges. Our technicians will assess your property and install a sturdy platform to keep your AC unit above potential water levels during hurricanes and heavy rain.
2. Secure Outdoor Components
Ensure that outdoor components, such as condenser units and electrical connections, are securely fastened to withstand strong winds and flying debris. Loose components can become projectiles during a storm, causing extensive damage to your HVAC system and property.
4. Inspect and Reinforce Ductwork
Inspect your ductwork for signs of damage or deterioration, especially if you live in a coastal area prone to saltwater exposure. Seal any leaks or gaps to prevent water intrusion and ensure that your HVAC system operates efficiently during and after a storm.
5. Check Drainage Systems
Clear debris from your gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems to prevent water from pooling around your home and HVAC unit. Proper drainage is essential for avoiding water damage and flooding, especially in low-lying areas prone to flooding during hurricanes.
6. Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Schedule a comprehensive HVAC inspection and maintenance service before hurricane season begins. Our technicians will inspect your system for any issues, perform necessary repairs, and provide recommendations for additional preventative care to protect your HVAC system from storm damage.
