Hurricane Milton brought strong winds and heavy rains to the Tampa Bay and Sarasota regions, leaving many homeowners dealing with power outages and system failures. If you’ve found your air conditioning not working after the storm, it’s essential to understand the possible damage your system may have suffered and how Weather Tech Services can help you recover safely. In this blog, we’ll cover the typical storm-related damages to AC systems, preventive measures, and why you should rely on our expert team for inspections and repairs.
Common Storm Damages to Your AC System After Hurricane Milton
Many homeowners have been reporting issues with their air conditioning not working after the storm. Here are some of the most common problems caused by hurricanes:
• Water Damage: Flooding can infiltrate the outdoor unit, damaging electrical parts or causing rust.
• Debris Damage: Wind can blow leaves, branches, and other debris into the unit, obstructing airflow and damaging fins.
• Electrical Damage: Power surges following outages can burn out key electrical components in your AC system.
• Refrigerant Leaks: Storm impact can cause damage to refrigerant lines, leading to leaks that reduce system efficiency.

How to Prevent Further Damage to Your AC After the Storm
If your air conditioning is not working after the storm, don’t rush to turn it on as soon as the power returns. Starting a damaged system can lead to more costly repairs. Here’s how to prevent further damage:
1. Inspect the Unit: Before turning it on, check for visible signs of damage like dents, debris, or water accumulation.
2. Avoid Power Surges: Ensure that the breaker is off to prevent a power surge from damaging your system.
3. Schedule an Inspection: Contact Weather Tech Services for a full inspection to avoid turning on a damaged unit.
