That sucks I hope it was insured!!!!! My grandparents house up on top of the hill by sandra's parents always used to get a foot or two of water during a bad storm. YOu woudlnt think so cuz they are on a hill but the water table is so high. This storm they would have had at least 2 prob 3 at least. They did one of those vmax french drain systems id say 10 years ago now and havent gotten a drop of water since. that system has paid for itself 3 times over now!! It was running like a bastard all day and prob still is but the house stays dry. They're great

6-9 you may have an issue.
open the bottom of the unit, see if the motor squircage got wet, if it did, drowned the thing in silicon or wd-40.
as long as nothing electric got wet, and the board is dry, you should be ok.
i would run the fan for a few days non stop to dry out the unit tho.

my neighbor's house started puffing black smoke because of the burner getting wet or something, I thought his place was on fire but it was just all the water in his basement, sucky weather.
