A couple weeks ago, we got some entirely heavy rain in the city that I live in.
It was raining so strenuous that it began to hail outside, however my associate and I had a tornado warning due to the serious weather. The rain fell in the early part of the night plus lasted for less than an hour, however it was so much rain that my backyard was filled with water. I have a small drain inside my yard plus the water fills up inside of it. At first, I was distraught that the water would be so high that it would seep into my outdoor A/C condenser. Thankfully it did not, as the A/C condenser is sited on a concrete pad in a corner near the wall. Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C units are resilient pieces of unit plus they are built to withstand serious weather conditions. From hail to heavy winds plus rain to direct sun to blizzards, plus more, they should hold up in inclement weather. And of course, it makes sense that the A/C condenser is durable because they are kept outside where they will be exposed to bad weather. The only thing I am not quite sure they would survive is a lightning strike. I would suppose that a lightning strike would cause extreme harm to the electrical components of the unit. In addition to the lightning strike, a power surge can also cause major harm to the unit. The chances that my A/C condenser would get struck by lightning or face a power surge are slimto none. However, I do need to get the drain diagnosed to avoid my yard from flooding again.
