The 2022 hurricane season has begun. It is time to check your emergency plan, acquire the necessary items, and protect your property.
Your rooftop equipment, such as air conditioner condenser units, should be an important part of your plan. Remember to protect them as well.
To protect these equipments:
- Make sure it is fastened to a concrete pad.
- Tie it down with straps built to withstand hurricane-force winds.
- In terms of the air conditioner, make sure the unit is turned off during the event.
- If you have any questions, you may consult with a professional related to the equipment.
Remember that the same inspection applies to all the equipment you may have on the roof, such as solar panels and water tanks.
It is also important to check your property insurance policy to make sure it is up to date and covers what you want.
