Prepare for Tropical Storm Francine: Heblon Heating and Air Conditioning's Guide

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

Before the Storm:

• Backup Power: Ensure 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 gutters to prevent storm damage.
• Stock Up: Build an emergency kit with essentials like food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and any necessary medications. Don’t forget to include supplies for your pets!
• Stay Informed: Monitor local weather updates and have an evacuation plan ready if the situation escalates.

During the Storm:

• Stay Indoors: Shelter in a secure, windowless room in your home. Keep your cell phone charged for emergency alerts.
• Generator Safety: Always run your generator outdoors, at least 20 feet away from your home, and keep it clear of windows and doors.
• Power Tips: Unplug appliances to avoid 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 and take photos for insurance claims. Contact your insurance provider promptly.
• Check Your Generator: If your generator has been running, don’t forget to check the fuel and fluid levels. Topping off oil and refueling helps ensure your home stays powered until services are restored.
• Emergency Services: Heblon Heating and Air Conditioning provides emergency heating, air conditioning, and generator services for those affected by Tropical Storm Francine. We’re here to help with repairs and get your home back to normal quickly and safely.
