How Severe Weather Can Lead to an AC Repair


A lot of people have concerns about too much water getting on their air conditioner and elect to cover it with a tarp or cover. This is not necessary, and could essentially damage your AC if you don’t remember to remove the covering before running it again. Your AC was built to handle rain and snow, so save your money and avoid a potential AC repair by not covering your unit. However, if you see that your unit is in standing water after a storm, you’ll want to call Air Concepts of Middle Georgia before you turn it back on.

Another hazard to your AC during severe weather is falling (or flying) objects. This is a little harder to prevent, but keeping loose outdoor items secured can help minimize your risk. Once the storm passes, make sure to pick up any debris that may have accumulated around your unit. If debris happens to hit and damage your unit, Air Concepts of Middle Georgia can inspect it and perform an AC repair if it’s needed.


If you have any questions about the threat of severe weather on your air conditioner, or wonder if you are in need of an AC repair, call Air Concepts of Middle Georgia. We can be reached at 478-200-5689.
