Should I Cover My Air Conditioner Or Heat Pump In The Fall And Winter?

This is a common question that our NH homeowners ask us about for their A/C unit. Covering your A/C condenser unit is not necessary, especially if you have a heat pump that runs all year long. In fact, covering an entire unit may actually trap moisture. Trapping moisture inside your unit can cause costly damages.

Only if the A/C unit is in a location where there are lots of trees (specifically pine trees) will we recommend the unit to be covered in the cold New Hampshire winter months.

A short cover that is custom fit for your unit is available as an optional accessory purchased through us. If you want to DIY a cover, make sure to not completely enclose the unit! You only want to cover the top as that’s where the debris and leaves are able to enter.

This style A/C cover is best should you need one for your New Hampshire home’s condensing or heat pump unit.
