Prepare Your Home for the 2024 Hurricane Season
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season to be above-average in intensity, with between 17 to 25 named cyclones, and predicted four to seven major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher).
At Assured Comfort Heating, Air & Plumbing, we are committed to helping our customers stay safe and prepared. Here are some essential tips to safeguard your home and family during this turbulent season.
Best Practices for Preparing Your Home for Hurricanes
- Create an Emergency Plan: Establish a family emergency plan that includes evacuation routes and communication strategies. Keep important documents in a waterproof container.

- Secure Outdoor Items: Bring patio furniture, grills, and other outdoor items indoors to prevent them from becoming projectiles. Trim trees and bushes to minimize the risk of falling branches. Protect Windows and Doors, and Install storm shutters or use plywood to cover windows and glass doors.
- Check Your Roof and Gutters: Inspect your roof for loose shingles or tiles and repair them. Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage.
Install Surge Protectors: Use surge protectors to safeguard your electronic devices from power surges caused by lightning. - Rely on Backup Power Solutions: Consider investing in a home standby generator to ensure you have power during outages.
