If your home in Collin County TX recently experienced storm damage, you may have checked your roof and siding, but your HVAC system may also have been damaged. Severe storms bring along with them heavy rains, strong winds, lightening and hail stones, all of which can cause storm damage to your HVAC system, especially the outdoor condenser unit. Our service technicians explain what to look for after a storm and how to fix the damage.
Dents
Locate the outdoor condenser unit of your HVAC system and inspect the metal cabinet for dings and dents. Hail stones, heavy rain and airborne storm debris can all damage the coils and fan blades contained within the cabinet. If the cabinet is visibly dented, it is best to seek professional repair assessment.
Electrical Problems
If your HVAC system will not turn on after a severe storm, it may have experienced electrical storm damage such as a lightning strike or a power surge. First check the circuit breaker that services the air conditioner. If the breaker tripped, reset it and attempt to turn on the air conditioner. If it will not turn on, professional air conditioning repair services will be needed to assess the situation. Do not try to disassemble the electrical panel yourself, as you might become injured as a result. Our experienced professionals can safely determine if your system experienced any sort of damage from the storm.
