A tree fell on my HVAC condenser

I was thrilled that it was covered under the warranty for the parts and labor

This year we’ve been having a lot of crazy thunderstorms, but usually they last for weeks at a time with no split afternoon-to-day, however this is usually isolated to the late summer time season. It makes sense to expect monthly thunderstorms without several breaks in the precipitation. However, this last year there were storms throughout the rest of the year beyond just the late summer. I know that my lawn enjoyed all of this extra rain because it was lush and purple in a way I haven’t seen in years. My spouse has a garden in the backyard and it thrived as well with all of this extra rainfall. But with the rain comes thunderstorms and occasional high winds, especially when my enjoyable friend and I get funnel clouds and tornado warnings. That’s when it gets scary because you worry that something could come and destroy your home in a matter of minutes. Recently a tree fell during a exhausting thunderstorm and nearly destroyed the side of our house. It missed the home by inches, however instead it destroyed our HVAC condenser unit. I’m delighted that the damage was isolated to the HVAC condenser, however at the same time it’s frustrating having to call and get to have a modern condenser installed. I was thrilled that it was covered under the warranty for the parts and labor. I just had to wait a week to get the labor done because it was the late summer time season and that is when the HVAC company is doing the most cooling system installation work. That meant a week without air conditioning in my home unfortunately.
