Description

Your outdoor AC condenser is the workhorse of your home cooling system. Without a proper outdoor ac unit cover, constant weather exposure will collect leaves and debris through fall, shelter rodents in winter, and risk ice damage inside the fan housing. Standard outdoor AC unit covers often don't provide the coverage they need, resulting in baggy, leaky coverage that does more harm than protection.

Invest in a custom outdoor ac unit cover to preserve your outdoor AC unit. A reliable, tailored, all-weather protection that not only promises to protect but actually protects. These waterproof outdoor AC unit covers are designed with heavy-duty polyvinyl chloride-coated material to keep your investment safe in rain, Sun, snow, sleet, or wind.

Why Choose Our Outdoor AC Unit Covers?

• Custom-Tailored

Tailored, based on your outdoor AC unit's dimensions, no sagging, no bunching, just precision-fit coverage. One-size-fits-none, customized based on your given measurements, feels like yours. These are not regular baggy covers; these are made to follow the exact outline of your outdoor AC unit.

• Breathable Design

Designed with air vents to release trapped air and moisture, leading to enhanced airflow. The free movement of air prevents mold and mildew growth as well, keeping your outdoor AC unit from deteriorating between uses.

• All Weather Performance

These waterproof outdoor AC unit covers are designed to perform in all weather conditions, including extreme heat, snow, rain, or wind. The PVC coating protects against harmful UV rays, rain, and snow, so your outdoor AC unit comes out of the off-season in the same shape it went in.

• Effortless Maintenance with Functional Features

These outdoor AC unit covers are easy to clean and maintain. Just hand-wash and air-dry completely for the next use. Designed with dual handles to facilitate easy installation and removal. Optional drawstrings for extra wind security on exposed installs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cover it for the off-season. Once the cooling season ends, an exposed condenser collects falling leaves, becomes a winter shelter for rodents, and risks ice damage inside the fan housing when freeze-thaw cycles hit. The argument against covering — "covers trap moisture and rust the coil" — is true of cheap sealed bags but not of a properly vented cover. Vented PVC keeps debris out and lets the cabinet breathe. Pull the cover off before you switch the AC back on in spring; running it covered overheats the compressor in minutes.
No, and the tech is right about the cheap ones. Standard polyester or vinyl AC covers seal the cabinet completely, trap warm, humid air inside through every overnight temperature swing, and condense moisture onto the aluminum fins. That's where the white powdery corrosion comes from. Our cover uses vented top panels — the waterproof PVC shell stays sealed on the outside while warm air rises out through the top. Coils stay dry, the cabinet doesn't rust, and the cover does what your tech wanted it to do.
Depends on what you're protecting against. Top-only covers shield the fan grille from falling leaves and ice but leave the sides open to rodents, pollen, and wind-driven debris. Full-cabinet covers seal the whole unit — better protection, but more important to get the vented construction right. For most climates, the full cover is the smarter pick. Pick top-only if your unit sits under a covered porch or roof overhang and the sides are already protected by the structure.
No — pull the cover all the way off first. The condenser pulls air through the fins and exhausts it through the top fan grille. With the cover in place, that airflow has nowhere to go. The compressor overheats and shuts down on a high-pressure trip within minutes, and repeated trips damage the compressor windings. This is the single most important rule with any AC cover: cover off before the unit runs, cover back on after it cycles off and cools.
Yes, when the bottom hem is properly sealed. Rodents move into uncovered condensers in October, looking for warm, dry shelter and chewing the low-voltage thermostat wires for nesting material. By spring, the system won't turn on. Our cover seals at the base with a drawstring or grommet-and-bungee, and the 18 oz fabric is too heavy for a mouse to push past from the side. Add a wire-mesh skirt at the concrete pad edge for extra security in heavy rodent areas.
Two different shapes, two different measurements. For square cabinets (most older units and many Goodman, Rheem, and Carrier models): measure width across the front at the widest point, depth from front to back, and height from the concrete pad to the top of the fan grille. For round-top units (Trane XL and XR series, Lennox round-tops, some Bryant models): measure diameter at the top of the fan grille and total height from pad to top. Note the cabinet style with the order so the cover is patterned correctly.
Yes — all six major HVAC brands are standard production, along with American Standard, Bryant, Ruud, Amana, and the budget-tier Goodman and Coleman models. Send the exact measurements. Our team verifies every single detail and cuts and sews the cover true to the measurements. For older units where the spec sheet isn't available, the measurement approach above works fine.

The tie downs at the corners were not long enough to latch together. Otherwise the build quality was very high.

Highly recommend!

I ordered a right arm love seat cover, left arm love seat cover and an ottoman cover in the higher end fabric. With a discount code, all 3 were a little over $300. The covers are perfect and the quality of the fabric is…..well, let’s just say it’ll probably outlive me! They’re very heavy duty and totally waterproof. Craftsmanship is excellent.

Customer service was A+. I had questions about measuring and some concerns about shipping. I used the chat option for questions about measurements and it was a REAL person, not a bot. He was friendly and personable. They also contacted me to verify some things about my measurements. When I contacted both sales and customer service via email with a question, they responded within hours. They’re constructed in another country and it took about 6 weeks from order to delivery. The delay was FedEx customs.

Bottom line, they are excellent covers at an extremely fair price that fit perfectly, will last forever and are a very friendly, responsive, competent company to work with.

Not waterproof

Not waterproof. After getting 1/2” of rain over a few hours the cushions were very wet when the cover was taken off the next day. Not sure how this happened with a “waterproof “ cover. Does not appear to be breathable as they claim. Very disappointed.

If it’s perfectly, it’s great quality, and they were quite timely.
