Central Air Conditioner Cover for Outside Units 36 x 36 - Top Universal Outdoor AC Cover Defender (Mesh, 36 x 36)

Just yesterday installed the Modern Wave 36 x 36 A/C cover on my outside unit. My unit is a SEER 18 and basically measures ~35+ square on top. I was looking for something to keep pine needles, pine flowers, various leaves and oak flowers from getting down into the unit and blocking up the drain holes and just rotting there. It looks like the mesh on this cover will stop the pine needles but may allow a direct vertical hit through - maybe. Time will tell. All the other stuff will be stopped for sure. The cover almost covers the entire almost square grill over the round fan opening. Only about a half an inch of the grill is left exposed but the entire area over the fan itself is fully covered. Just before I installed the cover the unit was turned completely off and I carefully used a shop vac to remove as much stuff from the inside bottom while it was dry. After the install, air flow seems to not be affected much if at all but I have no way to test that with any air speed tester.

Does an excellent job keeping leaves and pine needles out of our unit.

Very effective preventing objects/leaves from fill AC outside unit.

I live in Central florida under huge oak trees. The company that installed my unit were having to vacuum out tond of leaves. They recommended I go get a roll of screen and put Bungie cords around it.. which I did. This is the same idea but easier to install. Im very happy with it.

Great to keep leaves and pine straw out of ac unit

This cover was easy to install and is well worth the price. It prevents leaves and squirrels from being a concern.

East to install

The weave is very tight. When my unit is running it bulges as it won’t allow the air to be expelled quickly enough. I will probably take it off for the winter now that fall is over.

Cover was for my a/c unit to keep pine needles out. it worked!

Who ever came up with this high five to him or her. It’s a great idea to catch all the leaves from falling in to the unit.
