🌪️ When severe weather hits, getting a business back operational becomes the priority.
Following the devastating storms that impacted Illinois & Northwest Indiana, our team at Affordable American Air responded to a Great Clips location where both commercial rooftop HVAC units were ripped from their rooftop mounting positions and destroyed.
This wasn’t simply a matter of replacing two air conditioners.
One curb adapter was ripped away with the equipment. Rooftop gas piping was damaged. Electrical components and a disconnect were torn from their mounting. Duct connections were exposed, and both rooftop systems sustained catastrophic physical damage.
Fortunately, these systems were already under our ongoing maintenance and care prior to the storm, giving our team firsthand knowledge of their service history and pre-loss operating condition.
Our job now is to help get this business back to normal as quickly, safely and properly as possible.
Our complete restoration plan includes:
• Two new commercial rooftop HVAC systems
• New economizers on both systems
• A custom-fabricated curb adapter
• Restoration of damaged rooftop gas piping
• Electrical and disconnect restoration
• Ductwork and rooftop connection restoration
• Crane and rigging coordination
• Complete startup, testing and commissioning
The new equipment will also carry manufacturer warranty protection, including 3-year parts, 5-year compressor and 10-year heat exchanger warranties.
📋 We also help property owners document HVAC storm losses.
When severe weather causes significant HVAC damage, Affordable American Air can prepare a detailed HVAC Storm Damage Assessment Report to help clearly communicate the technical details of the loss to the property owner and their insurance company.
Our reports can document equipment identification, photographs of the damage, observed storm-related conditions, pre-loss service history when available, professional HVAC findings, and the recommended scope necessary to restore the system.
We don’t determine insurance coverage or replace the insurance adjuster. Our job is to make sure the HVAC side of the loss is thoroughly documented by experienced HVAC professionals so the details don’t get lost in the claim process.
Whether it’s a rooftop unit ripped from a curb, hail damage, wind damage, electrical damage, or another major HVAC loss, we’re prepared to help document the damage and develop a plan for restoration.
For a busy commercial location, every day without HVAC matters.
That’s why our responsibility doesn’t stop at replacing equipment. We’re coordinating this restoration from the damaged rooftop connections all the way through final commissioning with one goal:
🇺🇸 Get our customer back to pre-loss operation as quickly as possible.
