Built for servicing

We measure around the condenser, its fan outlet and the clearances the manufacturer asks for. An opening section lets the technician reach the service panels without taking the cover apart.

What it will not do

The manufacturer's clearance and ventilation rules come before looks. Where the two clash, the clearances win. It is a screen, not soundproofing.

For other service areas, see the Boiler Cover and Gas Bottle Cover. To screen a view rather than a unit, see privacy screens.

Finish

Powder coating, sandblasting and primer, electroplating or hot-dip galvanising: the finish sets how long the paint and rust cover lasts where you live. The warranty page has the table.

Questions about AC Cover

Should I choose mild steel, galvanised steel or aluminium?

Inland, powder-coated steel is fine. Near the coast or where sprinklers hit the steel, choose hot-dip galvanised steel. Within sight of the sea, choose aluminium: the Alu-Deluxe range does not rust the way steel does.
