With a potential hail storm forecast for the next couple days, make sure your AC unit is protected. Large, damaging hailstones, typically those the size of golf balls or larger, can severely bend the aluminum fins of your AC unit, restricting airflow and causing expensive mechanical failure.
Here are a few quick steps you can take right now to minimize damage:
-Turn Off Your AC: Disconnect the power to prevent electrical damage if the unit is struck.
-Cover the Unit: Use a durable cover or sturdy tarp to shield the top from large hailstones. Remember to remove it once the storm passes!
-Clear the Area: Move any loose items like potted plants, patio furniture, or toys away from the unit to prevent them from becoming projectiles.
Once the storm clears, don't just turn it back on!
