Nov. 1, 2012: AHRI Provides Tips for Flood Damaged Heating and Cooling Equipment
ARLINGTON, Va. — Homeowners who have experienced flood damage due to Hurricane Sandy are advised to take important safety precautions with regard to their home’s heating and cooling systems, recommends the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).
“Standing water in a yard, house, or basement can damage a home’s heating, cooling, and water heating equipment in ways that are not always readily apparent and putting families at risk,” said Stephen Yurek, AHRI president and CEO. “We advise homeowners to play it safe and replace, rather than repair, flood-damaged heating, cooling, and water heating equipment.”
