June marks the official month of summer here in Arlington, TX. It is also the time when storms become more frequent in the area. While you may not run your A/C during the stormy days, it still requires enough protection against strong winds and water damages.
Here’s how you can protect your cooling system during the storm:
Fix Damaged Drainage
When the heavy rainfall hits your home, chances are your drainage can collect more water. During rainy days, pay close attention to the low or weak spots around your yard, which can be prone to flooding. Try to observe where the water often accumulates and see if your outdoor air conditioning unit is situated near it.
Have a proper drainage system, so when a strong storm comes, the water will have a proper passageway. It is also advised to get a professional A/C inspection to know if your outdoor unit needs to move in another ground.
Familiarize Yourself With Your Insurance Policy
Hurricanes, winds, water damages, and fire are the potential threats for your home and air conditioning unit. As a homeowner, make yourself familiar with the particulars of your policy and the terms of the flood insurance that you have. Make sure that your insurance can adequately cover the damages of the storm.
