We don’t get a lot of storms, but when it rains it pours here in the southland.

Here are some tips to keep your HVAC system working properly before, during and 
after the storm.⌊HVAC Systems and Storms⌉

**HVAC Systems and Storms: Keep You Wires In Check**

Excessive rain and powerful winds can really put your HVAC system to the test here
in Southern California.

During a wet winter or a windy Santa Ana winds season, be sure to cover and secure
your wires and make sure none are exposed so they will not get wet and short out.

Also, be sure to secure or store any loose items from your yard. Strong winds such
as that during the Santa Ana winds season are notorious for knocking over such items
as lawn furniture or grills. Securing these loose items helps to protect your home
from damage.

**HVAC Systems and Storms: After the Storm**

Once the worst is over, be sure to do a thorough visual inspection of your unit 
to make sure there is no damage, as well as ensuring there is no debris that may
affect your unit.
