September is National Preparedness Month, and with North Texas storm season still bringing high winds, lightning, and heavy rain, now is a great time to make sure your HVAC system is ready.
At Select Air Conditioning & Heating, we recommend a few simple steps to help protect your home comfort system:
✅ Turn your HVAC system off before severe storm conditions arrive. This can help reduce the risk of electrical damage. If you use window units, unplug and secure them as well.
✅ Clear the area around your outdoor unit. Trim back shrubs, remove loose debris, and make sure nothing nearby could blow into the equipment during strong winds.
✅ Consider HVAC surge protection. Lightning and power fluctuations can damage sensitive components. Our team can help you explore dedicated surge protection for your system.
✅ Test your backup generator. If you have one, make sure it is maintained and ready before an outage—not after one begins.
✅ Schedule seasonal HVAC maintenance. A professional inspection can catch wear, storm-related concerns, and small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
Storm preparation is always easier before the forecast becomes urgent. If you are in Lewisville or the North Dallas area and would like to schedule fall HVAC maintenance or discuss generator-ready comfort solutions, Select Air Conditioning & Heating is here to help.
