Preparing your HVAC system for a hurricane

There is a lot that goes into planning and preparing for a hurricane.

Most people don’t really know how to properly prepare, but I have lived in an area that gets a large amount of hurricanes my entire life so I feel like I have a pretty good grip on what to expect.

You need to make sure that you always have water and canned foods that won’t go bad quickly. It’s also important to have batteries and flashlights in case the power goes out. I always like to fill up my bathtub with water so you can have even more water. Another thing you could do if you really want to make sure that you are prepared is to call an HVAC company and see what they recommend you do to protect your HVAC system. Many homes still have an outdoor HVAC component. So it’s important to protect that part of your HVAC system if you have one. I called my local HVAC company and they recommended that I buy a small cage or box to place around my outdoor HVAC component to protect it from damage. I am so glad that I did this because after the last storm in my area there was a lot of wind and debris. I think it’s important to protect the things you own and your HVAC unit is no exception! These are a few tips that I follow to make sure that I am protecting my HVAC system as best as possible.
