As Florida residents ourselves, we know that your air conditioner is crucial for maintaining your family’s comfort throughout the
year. However, we also recognize that the outdoor component of this essential
feature can be less than attractive. At Del-Air Heating and Air Conditioning,
we take the time to sit down with customers to determine the best ways
to meet their climate control needs. Here are some of our top tips for
turning your outdoor HVAC unit from an eyesore to an elegant backyard feature:
Install a Fence
Want to hide that unsightly air conditioner unit from view? Build
a fence around it! Along with keeping small animals from infesting your
system, a fence hides it from visitors. Just make sure to leave 3 feet
of space around the unit to allow room for airflow and maintenance access.
Add Landscaping
Looking to camouflage your HVAC system while adding interest to your yard?
Consider planting some shrubs and flowers near the unit. Greenery not
only distracts the eye from an ugly piece of plastic, but it also shades
the area around the unit, thereby increasing its efficiency and lifespan.
For best results, opt for a few pretty evergreen shrubs that offer cover
through all 4 seasons. You should also take care when watering to avoid
getting moisture in the HVAC unit.
Skip the Cover
While it may seem counterintuitive, skipping the fitted cover can actually
make your HVAC unit look a good deal nicer. Not only do covers increase
the size of your system, but they also offer a convenient living place
for small animals and insects. Additionally, covers may not be as useful
in places like Florida, where homeowners run their AC systems year round.
