Preparing Your HVAC System for Storm and Hurricane Season in North & Central Florida

Living in Florida means storm and hurricane season is always on the horizon. Whether you’re in Gainesville, Ocala, Clermont, Lake City, or any of the nearby communities, being prepared is essential to protect your home and your HVAC system.

At Gator Heating and Air Conditioning, we understand the challenges Florida’s weather can bring. Our NATE-certified technicians recommend scheduling a pre-storm inspection to ensure your cooling and heating system is ready to withstand the heavy rains, strong winds, and power fluctuations common during storm season.

During this inspection, we check for vulnerable areas like loose panels, clogged drains, and electrical components that might be at risk during a storm. We also offer surge protector installations to guard your Trane system against damaging power surges caused by lightning strikes.

After the storm passes, it’s just as important to have your HVAC system examined for debris blockages or water damage that could affect performance. This proactive care helps you avoid costly repairs and ensures your home stays comfortable no matter the weather.

No matter where you live in North and Central Florida—from smaller towns to the larger cities—Gator Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help protect your HVAC system year-round.
