AC stopped cooling after rain

Though ACs are supposed to withstand rain and snow, showers can pose a serious danger to your appliance. Generally, all the interior components of an AC are impervious to moisture. Still, there are several good reasons why your AC stopped cooling after rain. Damages Heavy rains are frequently accompanied by high winds which can carry twigs, leaves or other debris into your AC system. It’s recommended to inspect your outdoor unit after such bad weather so that you could prevent serious damages in the future. Flooding Standing water is a common culprit of damaged moving parts and electronics of your AC. Every time you encounter severe floodings, make sure your AC unit receives proper professional inspection before you start it again. The best preventive measure here is to install your outdoor unit in the area which is safe from flood. Corrosion Corrosion can develop due to homeowner’s improper maintenance of their units. When ACs fail to dry completely after rain or snow and get covered with plastic wraps having no ventilation holes, moisture becomes trapped inside the AC system and promotes corrosion of the interior metal components. Sooner or later, the issue will get too serious for your AC to handle and the unit, as luck would have it, will stop cooling after rain. Any of these problems can be prevented if you follow simple maintenance rules. But if your AC already stopped cooling after rain, contact us and get quick professional help.
