Time to Replace Old AC Mounting

This winter season has been one for the record books. Many of us have experienced some of the coldest temperatures in recent history, and many parts of the US are buried under record amounts of snowfall.

With the worst of the cold weather likely behind us, it won’t be long before things start to thaw. It might be hard to imagine now, but in just a few short months, it’ll be time to crank those air conditioners again to beat the summer heat!

Each year, winter winds, ice, and snow relentlessly take their toll for months at a time. While cold weather is the leading cause of cabin fever, it is also responsible for extensive wear and tear on outdoor fixtures. Heavy gusts as well as heavy ice and snow are known to cause significant damage as they weigh down upon outdoor air conditioners.

If you are one of the many whose unit lives outside during the winter, your AC hardware will be in need of close inspection before summertime. Regular inspection of the outdoor rigging that supports your mini split ductless air conditioner might slip your mind most years. So if your AC system has weathered many consecutive winters already, its mounting bracket might be overdue for replacement.

Old Man Winter has a knack for destruction. This winter, ice and snow made their way as far south as northern Florida, leaving a wide path of devastation in their wake. After braving the winter cold like never before, southerners are more as ready as ever for summer to return.

The hot and humid south is one place where surviving summer without air conditioning is as unadvisable as braving winter without heat. After more than one recent polar vortex has blown through the southern states, you’ll want to check those AC mounting racks now, giving you time to replace them before the first heat wave!

To make sure your mini split ductless has the support it needs when you need AC the most, AC World is currently featuring our L Mounting Bracket for outdoor AC units. The triple powder coated hardened steel frame is designed to shoulder up to 185 lbs, enough to support the weight of your unit while withstanding the elements. It’s never too early to start preparing for summer, so order yours today!
