Before

Filters should already be clean so they have capacity. Outdoor coils should not be a felt pad from last month.

During

Windows closed. If the outdoor is in a dust tunnel, expect weak cooling. Do not keep restarting an iced indoor.

After

Wash filters. Look at the outdoor face. Book a rinse if it is flocked. After-sandstorm service. Inland villas first; coastal towers still get a share.

Warning: do not poke live terminals or recover refrigerant yourself. Isolation first, then WhatsApp.

FAQs

Can I hose the outdoor during the storm?

Wait until it stops. You will just make mud in the fan.
