Hail Guard Air Intake Solutions
Many multi-story buildings are designed so that HVAC equipment can be placed on the roof shielded by decorative walls. However, that doesn't mean that the equipment is adequately protected. Condensing units, chillers, cooling towers and exhaust fans can suffer damage from hail, lightning, and high velocity winds. Bent fins on equipment coils can significantly increase your cooling costs. The reason for this is when the fins are bent, air cannot flow through the coil as efficiently. If the fins are bent severely enough, all airflow can be blocked.
Hail Guard media made of rigid black PVC coated polyester netting is available and very easy to install.
