๐ช๏ธโ๏ธ Is Your AC Ready for Hurricane Season? โ๏ธ๐ช๏ธ
When most Florida homeowners prepare for a hurricane, they think about shutters, generators, and stocking up on supplies. But what about your air conditioning system?

๐ Important Homeowner Hurricane HVAC Tips:
โ๏ธ Turn your AC off at the thermostat if a major storm is approaching.
โ๏ธ Clear leaves, branches, and loose items around your outdoor unit.
โ๏ธ Replace your air filter before storm season.
โ๏ธ Make sure indoor vents aren't blocked by furniture.
โ๏ธ Verify your AC is cooling properly before a storm arrives.
โ๏ธ Know where your outdoor unit is located and avoid operating it if flooding occurs.
โ ๏ธ Important: If your outdoor unit becomes submerged in flood water, DO NOT turn it back on. Water can damage electrical components and create safety hazards. Call Blue Collar Heating & Cooling first so we can safely inspect the system.
