When you hear a massive rainstorm, you might wonder: should I be concerned about my outdoor air conditioning system?
The simple answer to this question is no.
Most systems are designed to withstand rainfall. Unless your unit is hit by a flooding situation, it will be fine.
AC systems are designed to handle harsh elements including rain, snow, sleet and hail. If you’re still worried about your unit and want to cover it up, don’t use a garbage bag or plastic tarp. Both of these can trap moisture inside your system, allowing for mold and mildew.
It’s perfectly safe to use your air conditioner in any type of weather. For more detailed information on rain and your air conditioning system, read this article.
