Air Conditioner Cover: Easy Installation for GREEN VENT Outdoor Air Conditioner Cover

Welcome to your step-by-step guide to installing your GREEN VENT Outdoor Air Conditioner Cover! With its smart design and included accessories, protecting your outdoor AC condenser unit has never been quicker or easier. Follow these simple instructions to ensure your AC unit receives optimal, all-season protection.

I. Before You Begin: Essential Preparations & Sizing

  • Check Cover Size: It's crucial to select the correct size for your AC unit. GREEN VENT AC Covers are designed to be slightly larger than your AC unit's top dimensions to ensure optimal fit and proper airflow. For example:
    • If your AC Unit is 24" x 24", use an AC Cover 28" x 28".
    • If your AC Unit is 28" x 28", use an AC Cover 32" x 32".
    • If your AC Unit is 32" x 32", use an AC Cover 36" x 36".
    • Warm Tip: Make sure to measure your AC unit carefully before picking the right cover size.
  • Prepare Cover & Accessories: Your GREEN VENT cover comes with 4 highly elastic & strong bungee cords and stainless steel, rust-resistant hooks.
  • Ensure Safety: For your safety, it's always a good practice to turn OFF the power to your outdoor AC unit before starting installation, especially if you need to have close contact with the unit.

II. Installation Steps: Quick & Easy Setup

Follow these straightforward steps to install your GREEN VENT AC Cover:

Step 1: Clean the Air Conditioner

  • Before placing the cover, ensure your AC unit's top surface and upper sides are clean and free from any large debris. This maximizes the cover's effectiveness.

Step 2: Place the Cover on Top of the Air Conditioner

  • Carefully position the GREEN VENT cover directly onto the top of your outdoor AC condenser unit. Ensure the weather-resistant coated mesh side faces upwards, completely covering the unit's top fan area. The durable 600D Oxford fabric sides will naturally drape down the unit.

Step 3: Adjust Bungee Cords to Attach the Sides

  • GREEN VENT offers two versatile installation positions to secure your cover:
    • Option 1: Secure on Top and Corners (Standard Protection)
      • Attach the stainless steel hooks of the bungee cords to the designated eyelets on the cover.
      • Pull the bungee cords down and hook them into suitable openings or secure points near the top corners of your AC unit's side grilles. This method primarily secures the top, allowing the side fabric to hang.
    • Option 2: Fully Wrap Around the Unit (Enhanced Upper-Side Protection)
      • Position the cover so that the Oxford fabric sides extend further down the upper portion of your AC unit.
      • Similarly, attach the ends of the bungee cords to the hooks on the cover.
      • Stretch the bungee cords downwards and hook them to secure points lower on the AC unit's frame or base. This creates a snugger fit around the upper section of the unit, offering more comprehensive protection.
  • Adjust Tension: Ensure the bungee cords are taut enough to hold the cover firmly in place, preventing it from shifting or blowing off in strong winds, but not so tight that they distort the cover or unit.

III. Important Usage Notes: Maximize Your Cover's Performance

  • Year-Round Operation is Key: Your GREEN VENT AC Cover is uniquely designed for all-season protection and can be used year-round, even when your AC unit is actively operating. The weather-resistant coated mesh top ensures optimal air circulation and heat dissipation, preventing overheating and maintaining efficiency.
  • Never Use Fully Sealed Covers While Operating: Unlike GREEN VENT's breathable design, using fully sealed or non-breathable covers when your AC unit is running can trap heat and moisture, leading to severe damage and reduced lifespan.
  • Comprehensive Protection: This cover acts as a multi-faceted shield, providing:
    • Leaf Guard
    • Pine Needles Guard
    • Rock Guard
    • Insect Guard
    • Ultimately helping to Minimize Electrical Problems and ensure a Long Life for AC.
  • Simple Maintenance: Periodically check the cover and clear any accumulated debris (leaves, dirt) from the mesh surface and simply brush or rinse it off. The durable, weather-resistant materials ensure long-lasting performance with minimal effort.

IV. Conclusion: Protect Your Investment with GREEN VENT
