Commercial Properties: Are your Rooftop HVAC Units (RTUs) ready for severe summer storms?
High winds, heavy downpours, and sudden summer storms can cause severe structural and electrical damage to exposed rooftop equipment. Securing your RTUs now protects your building from costly downtime and structural leaks.
Essential steps to storm-proof your rooftop HVAC systems:
ποΈ Audit Tie-Downs & Curbs: Ensure structural fastings, vibration isolators, and roof curbs are tightly secured against high wind uplift forces.
π‘οΈ Install Hail Guards: Protect vulnerable condenser coils from impact damage caused by flying debris and heavy hail.
π§Ή Clear Rooftop Drainage: Blocked roof drains turn your roof into a swimming pool, risking water intrusion through the RTU base.
β‘ Verify Surge Protection: Test electrical disconnects and ensure surge suppressors are functional to handle lightning strikes.
