Cover your external unit ? High winds are categorized as winds that exceed 58 MPH. As you can imagine (and may have experienced), strong gusts of wind can lift debris and cause indirect damage to property. Covering your condenser will better protect the more delicate parts of your HVAC system from stray twigs and other airborne debris. 2. Strap down the condenser ?
