Should I run my AC during or immediately after a tropical storm?
During severe electrical storms or flooding, power surges can damage sensitive capacitors and control boards. If your outdoor unit was submerged or splashed by storm surge, have it inspected by a licensed contractor before turning it back on.
What to do next
Start from your own specifics rather than a rule of thumb; a short conversation usually tells you whether this needs a professional look.
