Winter storms can bring sudden temperature drops, icy roads, and even snowfall to Garland, Dallas, Fort Worth, and the wider DFW region. Preparing your home in advance can protect you from unexpected costs, discomfort, and potential damage. Here’s how Aircons can help you weather-proof your home this season.

1. Stay Safe and Warm

• Insulate Pipes: Frozen pipes can burst and flood your home. Wrap exposed pipes in insulation to keep them safe during cold spells.
• Stock Up on Supplies: Keep extra blankets, bottled water, and non-perishable food in case of power outages.

2. Prevent Frozen HVAC Components

• Outdoor Unit Protection: Clear leaves and debris from around your outdoor unit. If snow or ice is in the forecast, cover it lightly—but remember to remove the cover once the storm passes.
• Regular Maintenance: A well-tuned system is less likely to fail during harsh conditions. Let Aircons inspect and clean your furnace or heat pump before storms hit.

3. Protect Outdoor Units

• Build a Barrier: For areas prone to strong winds, consider a windbreak or fence to shield your unit from debris.
• Clear Drain Lines: Ensure condensate drain lines are free from blockages, preventing ice build-up.
