I am not a fan of thunderstorms; Not only because they make a ton of noise. But because with thunderstorms comes lightning and this can knock out your power, disfigure things and sometimes even kill people. The last time all of us had a immense thunderstorm my central heating, ventilation, and A/C plan ended up getting hit by lightning! In addition to that the power went out so I had no central air conditioning and it was warm out. Thankfully though when the lightning hit the central heating, ventilation, and A/C plan it did not disfigure it because of where it hit. It just charred the side of it. Which after all was over and things were back to normal I went outside and washed off the side of the central heating, ventilation, and A/C plan best that I could. It helped detach the black charring a little bit to where it wasn’t too noticeable, however it was there forever or until I bought a brand new and new central heating, ventilation, and A/C plan unit, however as long as it still worked to provide myself and others with the central heating, ventilation, and A/C that I needed in my condo is all that legitimately mattered at the end of the day; So I was pretty thankful that I got so fortunate for the lightning to strike the central heating, ventilation, and A/C plan in an part where it did not fry it or disfigure it. That is the beauty of having a steel based central heating and cooling unit. If I had a single of the more new central heat and cooling system systems, I may not have been so fortunate!
