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

This is the 2nd one I have purchased. Great product. 1st one lasted several years. Will bye again. Highly recommend.

We live in FL, and we have Cuban tree frogs. They’re an invasive species, and they eat the native tree frogs. They also climb into the outdoor AC unit and accidentally commit suicide by either falling through or trying to jump through the fan blades at the top of the unit. This wakes the kids up because the unit is outside of their window, and Cuban tree frogs can get pretty big. So they get whacked by the blades and then repeatedly bounce off of them, and it’s loud. The kids know what the sound is, and it’s upsetting to them. So at the recommendation of our AC guy, we got this thing to keep them from climbing into the top of the unit. It covers all of the places where the critters can get in, and it attaches securely. I’m looking forward to not being woken up at 2:30am anymore by a crying child who’s in despair over the death of a tree frog.

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.

good quality.

Good product and last a long time. This is the second one I’ve bought. I love this screen cover. I recommend this item.

Has four bungee cords for attaching to the outside unit. You may have to be creative on the attachment points to get a symmetrical fitting.

good

Fits completely over the fan blades.

I just wish that I had purchased this a couple of years ago. I can see how this will keep my units healthy inside from getting leaves and other debris inside that would damage it.

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.
