Preparing Your HVAC System for Hurricane Season: A Comprehensive Guide

Expert HVAC solutions for hurricane season.

As a South Florida homeowner, preparing for hurricane season is crucial. Not only do you need to safeguard your property, but also your HVAC system. Here’s what you need to know and how Koala Coolin can help.

Understanding Hurricane Season in Florida

Florida’s hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, bringing powerful storms with strong winds, heavy rains, and flooding. Warm Atlantic waters fuel these storms, making preparation essential.

Protecting Your HVAC System

Clear Debris: Remove branches, leaves, and objects around your outdoor AC unit. These can become dangerous projectiles during high winds.

Regular Inspections: Ensure your AC unit is in good condition. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs or replacements.

Secure Covering: Cover your unit with a waterproof tarp and tie-downs designed for hurricane-force winds.

Turn Off Breakers: Shut off breakers for your AC, furnace, heat pump, and indoor air handler.

Better Airflow: Maintain a clear zone around your HVAC unit for efficient airflow.
