Prepare for Tropical Storm Francine: Ace Air & Plumbing's Essential Tips

As Tropical Storm Francine approaches, it’s important to stay prepared while remaining calm. At Ace Air & Plumbing, we are committed to helping you and your family stay safe and comfortable during severe weather. Here’s a storm emergency preparedness checklist to ensure you’re ready:

Before the Storm:

• Backup Power: Make sure your whole home standby generator is storm-ready by clearing debris and checking fuel levels.
• Secure Your Home: Protect your windows and doors with storm shutters or plywood. Trim trees and clean your gutters to prevent storm damage.
• Stock Up: Prepare an emergency kit with essentials such as food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and any necessary medications. Don’t forget supplies for your pets, too!
• Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local weather reports, and have an evacuation plan in case the situation escalates.

During the Storm:

• Stay Indoors: Shelter in a secure, windowless room in your home. Keep your cell phone charged and ready for emergency updates.
• Generator Safety: Always operate your generator outdoors, at least 20 feet away from your home, and never near windows or doors.
• Power Tips: Unplug appliances to prevent power surges and keep your refrigerator closed to preserve food.

After the Storm:

• Safety First: Avoid downed power lines and flooded areas. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately and contact local authorities.
• Check Your Home: Inspect your home for damage, take photos, and contact your insurance provider as soon as possible.
• Check Your Generator: If your generator has been running, don’t forget to check the fuel and fluid levels. Topping off oil and refueling can help keep your home powered until services are restored.
