Don’t get caught in the heat this summer: Make sure you have an emergency portable cooling plan in place. Here are the key steps to review with your equipment supplier:
1. Identify critical areas to be cooled in an emergency.
2. Make sure there is a backup generator to provide sufficient power for portable cooling.
3. Consider special vulnerabilities besides power outages. For example, rooftop air handlers may be vulnerable to breakdowns from damage during windstorms.
4. Look for nearby power outlets with the required voltage and phase. Determine requirements for electrical cables or extension cords if needed.
5. Establish a written emergency plan using the information collected above.
6. Specify equipment delivery before a hurricane or other anticipated event when possible. This is important because the demand for portable cooling equipment can exceed the supply in an emergency.
