Outdoor A/C units are built to withstand rain, but floodwater can create serious electrical hazards and damage important components.
If your outdoor unit floods:
1. Turn the system off at the thermostat.
If your electrical panel is safely accessible without stepping into water, turn off the A/C breaker.
2. Stay away from the unit while water is present. Do not touch it or attempt to inspect it yourself.
3. Do not restart the system after the water recedes. Hidden moisture, debris, and electrical damage may still be present.
4. Contact a licensed HVAC professional to inspect the system before restoring power.
When it is safe, take photos of the unit and the highest water level for your records and any potential insurance claim.
