Unexpected dust storms can damage property; in most cases, they will accumulate dust, tiny stones, and other material. So, if you live in semi-arid areas with little grass, you may be hit hard.
Because of such areas' hot and humid weather, air conditioning systems are a must-have in most homes to moderate temperatures.
However, for external units, these constant sandstorms can damage AC systems. Due to dust buildup, systems lose efficiency. In addition, it causes the device to use more energy, increasing prices.
Here you can see why it makes sense to have Tempe AC repair experts on hand in case of storm damage.
Here are some ways you can prepare for a sandstorm.
Tempe AC Maintenance For AC Replacement
The AC systems gradually degrade in most homes hit by periodic sandstorms. Therefore, subject to professional examination and help, replacing some systems may make financial and practical sense.
Air conditioning systems must perform at ideal levels, or their purpose may be lost.
Rescue One Air may assess your home and recommend the best ACs. Then we'll install it at your home and can offer financing on some of the most robust air conditioners you can find.
Seal Your Home
Most dwellings have standard ventilation and, sometimes, apertures. However, if your home is exposed to sandstorms, seal it before the season begins.
Air conditioning may draw in dust and create unhealthy breathing conditions. Install a hail guard over your AC unit's outside to protect it against sandstorms. Sandstorms can damage your home, letting dust in.
Rescue One Air can advise on areas that are potential dust entrances and exits for your cool air.
Shut Down Your AC During A Storm
Sandstorms occur when high temperatures and most homes need AC. So before the storm hits, turn off your AC. When the system isn't working, it won't ingest airborne particles, but when it is, it may do so and cause damage.
Storms often cause power disruptions. Power outages damage AC and other home appliances, so turn off your AC and wait 5-10 minutes after the electricity returns before turning it back on.
Hire AC Repair Professionals Before A Storm
Seasonally, water mixes with dust to produce cake lumps around the system. The unit cakes inside and out. Rescue One Air can clean and optimize your AC. Moisture damages the outdoor fan monitor. Keep your outside unit dry and out of water.
People living in areas prone to dust storms, such as monsoon winds, should get regular AC maintenance. In such regions, the pause between storms is short, so have your AC checked before and after storms, as even the slightest malfunction requires expert knowledge.
Clean Air Filters and Ducting
Air filter cleaning should be ongoing. A professional will tell you how often to replace a disposable air filter. Before dust storms, clean your permanent filter. Pleated air filters are more efficient since they enhance their surface area.
Extreme weather damages ductwork over time. Broken or leaking ACs destroy their purpose. Call Rescue One Air for service.
