Protect Your System and Building with Commercial Hail Guards

Jun 13, 2017 | General HVAC

When thinking about protecting your HVAC system, hailstorms most likely don’t jump to the forefront of your mind, especially here in Kansas. But hailstorms do occur more frequently than people think, and HVAC systems are quite vulnerable to the damage hail can do.

Damages

During a hailstorm, your outdoor or rooftop unit can experience severe damage from both the hail and any airborne debris. The best mode of protection you can offer your unit is to install hail guards. These durable guards are designed to protect your entire outdoor system or just specific features of your choosing, depending on what best suits your needs and finances. Hail and/or debris can be severe enough to cause loss of heating and cooling, loss of the use of the entire facility, and/or water damage.

Invest

Something like hail damaging the fins on your coil assemblies (which compresses them) results in diminished heat transfer so your system won’t function properly. This consequence could be as major as compromising your workforce’s ability to carry on, thereby shutting down your business until the fins are repaired or replaced (in the case of severe damage) or as minor as the fins being damaged but workable. In the case of a minor repair, if this continues with each storm, the result would be cumulative damage and may end in needing to replace the entire unit. The investment in your HVAC system’s protection is a smart business strategy and will save you both repair and replacement costs in the long run. If your system wasn’t installed with hail protection, call B & C Mechanical to discuss how we can install hail guards to help you protect your investment.
