Hurricane Preparedness: Get Your Air Conditioner Ready with Air Conditioner Service

Published on June 08, 2015

Although we never hope to have to deal with tropical storms, in Haltom City it’s a reality we must be ready for. Whether or not you already have a plan to keep your home and family safe, be sure you include air conditioner service when dangerous weather approaches. Of course it’s not the most critical thing during a hurricane, but there are a few steps you can take to help protect your heating and cooling system in the event of an emergency weather situation.

Batten down the hatches.

Or in this case, the air conditioner! Make sure your system is firmly attached to its base. If any bolts or screws are loose to begin with, tighten them up. Then, go a step further by securing the air conditioner with reinforcement using bolts, straps, or rope. If it’s about time for your regular air conditioner service, your experienced technician from Stark Services in Haltom City can offer advice on the best way to secure your individual air conditioner.

Shut the system down.

This may seem like an obvious step, but in the initial stages of a weather emergency it can be easy to panic and forget this and other smaller yet critical tasks. Turn off your air conditioner from the thermostat first. Then, if you aren’t intimately familiar with your fuse box, it’s a great time to get to know it! Switch off the fuse connected to your air conditioner and observe and note which fuses control other areas or appliances in your home. Taking action before an emergency saves you the inconvenience and risk of having to do so in the dark later.

Clear the area around your air conditioner.

Hurricane force winds can do a lot of damage but so can a rake that has been thrown into your air conditioner. As long as it’s still safe to be outside, make sure you clear the immediate area surrounding your air conditioner. This means furniture, tools, toys, and any other number of items that could turn into a projectile in unstable weather. Anything that could damage your air conditioner (or your home, for that matter) should be moved to a safer place and secured there.

In the event that a hurricane or severe storm forces water into your air conditioner, DON’T restore power to your air conditioner. If you are unsure of its safety AT ALL, you should immediately call in a licensed professional to provide an expert opinion. The pros at Stark Services have seen it all before. So whether Haltom City is expecting a big storm or if you just want to schedule an air conditioner service before any future storms hit, call 817-668-6689 today or schedule an appointment online.
