Hurricane Season Special for Dual-Maintenance

Florida’s hurricane season doesn’t just threaten power lines and rooftops — it can also wreak havoc on your air conditioning system. High winds, flying debris, flooding, and electrical surges can turn a healthy AC unit into an expensive repair.

A pre-season AC maintenance check can help you avoid costly downtime, extend your unit’s lifespan, and ensure your home stays comfortable, even when the weather turns rough.

Here’s what to look for before the storms roll in.

Why Hurricane Season is Tough on Your AC

During severe weather, your AC unit faces risks from:

Flying debris damaging the condenser coils or fan blades.

Power surges from outages that can fry electrical components.

Flooding or pooling water that damages motors and wiring.

Heavy rain and wind that stress the system’s structural integrity.

A professional inspection now can help you prevent small issues from becoming major post-storm repairs.

5 Signs Your AC Needs a Pre-Storm Maintenance Check

1. Reduced Cooling Performance

If your system takes longer than usual to cool your home, struggles to maintain temperature, or blows warm air, it may have clogged coils, low refrigerant, or a failing compressor — all of which need attention before storm season.

2. Unusual Noises

Grinding, rattling, or banging sounds can indicate loose components or failing fan motors. These can become major hazards if debris strikes your unit during a storm.

3. Unpleasant Odors

A musty smell may signal mold in the ductwork or clogged drainage — both of which can worsen in the humid, storm-heavy months ahead.

4. Frequent Cycling On and Off

Short cycling can mean electrical or thermostat issues. With the risk of power surges during hurricanes, these problems should be corrected quickly to avoid system failure.

5. Visible Wear or Damage

Cracked panels, bent fins, or rust are red flags. Physical weaknesses can become breaking points when the wind and rain intensify.

Bonus: Storm-Proofing Tips for Your AC

In addition to a maintenance check, you can protect your AC system with:

A fitted AC cover (only for use when the system is off, never while running).

Surge protection devices to safeguard against electrical damage.

Clearing yard debris and trimming nearby branches.

Elevating units in flood-prone areas.

The Bottom Line

Hurricane season in Florida is no time to take chances with your home’s comfort system. Scheduling a professional AC maintenance check now means fewer surprises, less risk of costly repairs, and peace of mind when the storms start rolling in.
