AC Hail & Storm Damage in Amarillo, TX

Heavy thunderstorms bring much of Amarillo's rain, and with them can come hail, high wind and lightning. Outdoor AC units take the hit.

Hail damage

Hail flattens the thin fins on the outdoor coil, cutting airflow and efficiency. It can also dent the cabinet and damage the fan.

Wind

Flying debris can bend the fan guard or blades. Check the unit before running it after a storm.

Lightning and surges

Power surges can damage capacitors, contactors and control boards.

Inspect safely

With the power off at the disconnect, look for flattened fins, dents and debris.

Fin combing

Lightly bent fins can often be straightened with a fin comb by a technician.

Coil replacement

Badly crushed coils may need replacement, or a whole new unit if the system is old.

Hail guards

Ask about hail guards that protect the coil without blocking airflow.

Get help

Send photos with your request. Send a request and an AC technician will get in touch.

Electrical checks

After lightning or a power surge, a technician can test the capacitor, contactor and control board even if the unit seems to start normally.

Neighbour's debris

Fences, branches and roofing blown loose in storms can land on or against the unit. Clear debris carefully with the power off.

After the repair

Once the unit is fixed, run it for a full cycle and check that cool air reaches every room. Note any new noises.

Plan for next season

If storms hit your area often, ask about guards and surge protection when the repair is done.

Surge protection

A surge protector at the outdoor unit or the breaker panel guards controls against lightning surges.
