What Is A Threat To My Air Conditioning System?

Wondering what can put your HVAC at risk of serious damage or a breakdown? Some of the most common threats to watch out for include:

  • Hail
  • Freezing temperatures
  • Wind-blown debris from storms
  • Leaking ducts
  • Animals making nests inside your unit
  • Frozen evaporator coils
  • Clogged air filters

Though some of these issues are hard to prevent, such as storm damage, there are plenty of ways that you can protect your AC unit by planning ahead. Scheduling routine maintenance appointments before the summer season can boost the longevity of your HVAC system.

Safeguard Your Unit With An Air Conditioner Cover Or An Air Conditioner Fence

Interested in learning about some ways you can protect your AC? A few tips and tricks to try are:

  • Installing an open-design HVAC fence
  • Keeping your lawn clean with little to no debris lying about
  • Purchasing an air conditioner cover for storm season and winter
  • Trimming your hedges and other foliage away from your unit
  • Ensuring that your downspouts are angled away from your appliance
