Storm-Proof Your Home: Summer Weather Prep Tips from the Experts at All Temp Co., Inc.
Summer isn’t just about sunshine and barbecues—it also brings unpredictable weather, from heavy rain to high winds and lightning. Sudden storms can put your HVAC and plumbing systems to the test. Fortunately, All Temp Co., Inc. is here with expert advice to help you protect your home before the first storm rolls in.
Here’s how to get storm-ready and why All Temp Co., Inc. is the trusted team to keep your systems safe and sound—no matter what the forecast brings.
HVAC Tips to Weather Any Storm
1. Protect Your Outdoor AC Unit
Your outdoor condenser is vulnerable to falling branches and flying debris. Install a protective cover or barrier (without blocking airflow) to help shield the unit during severe weather. Our team can advise you on the safest options.
2. Secure Loose Connections
Storms can cause power surges that damage HVAC components. Let our technicians inspect your system’s wiring and connections to ensure everything is safe and secure before storm season.
3. Install a Surge Protector
Power surges from lightning or outages can fry your HVAC system. Installing a surge protector for your unit offers peace of mind and long-term protection. Ask us about whole-house options.
4. Consider a Backup Generator
When the power goes out, your comfort shouldn’t. A backup generator can keep essential systems, including your HVAC, running during extended outages. We’ll help you determine the right size and setup for your home.
Plumbing Tips to Prevent Flooding and Backups
1. Check Your Sump Pump
Heavy rain can overwhelm your basement if your sump pump isn’t working properly. Test it ahead of time or schedule a maintenance check to ensure it’s ready when needed.
2. Inspect Drainage Around Your Home
Make sure gutters, downspouts, and exterior drains are clear of debris and direct water away from your foundation. Poor drainage can lead to basement flooding and structural issues.
3. Install a Backwater Valve
Stormwater can sometimes overwhelm municipal sewer systems, leading to dangerous backflow. A professionally installed backwater valve prevents sewage from backing up into your home.
4. Turn Off Outdoor Water During Severe Storms
Shutting off and draining outdoor faucets and hoses during extreme weather can prevent pressure build-up and burst pipes. We’ll show you how to do it properly—or handle it for you.
