Post-Hurricane HVAC Care: Ensuring Optimal Performance and Longevity

After a hurricane, HVAC owners face unique challenges in ensuring their systems remain functional and efficient. Here are key considerations and how Koala Coolin can assist in maintaining, repairing, and enhancing your HVAC system.

Immediate Steps Post-Hurricane

1. Safety First: Before inspecting your HVAC system, ensure the area is safe. Look for any electrical hazards or structural damage.
2. Visual Inspection: Check for visible damage to the outdoor unit, such as dents, debris, or water damage. Ensure there are no loose or disconnected wires.
3. Clear Debris: Remove any debris around the unit to prevent further damage and ensure proper airflow.
4. Check for Flooding: If your unit was submerged, do not turn it on. Floodwater can cause significant damage to internal components.
