A question we get from homeowners is, “Should I cover my air conditioner in the winter?” You’ve probably seen air conditioner covers that are sold at most hardware stores and have wondered if it’s something you need to add to your list of tasks to complete for air conditioner maintenance in Upper St. Clair in the fall.
AC covers are designed to shield outdoor units from weather elements during the fall and winter when they’re inactive. They come in a variety of sizes, styles, and materials, such as mesh, top-only covers, insulated, and water-resistant types. Each style aims to keep out debris such as rocks, grass, leaves, hail, ice, and snow that could damage the unit.
