Just a piece of plywood to cover the condenser fan and a brick to hold it in place.

Always cover mine during Winter, with Tarp. 😂

We just put 1/2 plywood and a few bricks on the top of our unit. 🤷‍♂️

YOU CONTINUE TO SAY MODERN! THIS is completely invalid. this entire video was very poorly written. yes if you have a heatpump, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN installed properly to be about a foot or .3 meters off the ground. so no it shouldn't be covered ever. technically no AC should have been installed on the ground or even on a pad. Should have been installed higher. what manual? NO ONE HAS A MANUAL FOR THEIR AC UNLESS THEY installed it themselves. not to be mean.. but facts.

What I did is put a plastic square on the top with glued on magnetics

I do not cover my AC unit during the winter. Here in coastal Carolina it’s not uncommon to need AC on New Year’s Day.

You know what cover you should use. A bathtub shower curtain prefably clear. It covers the top and partial sides $7 thats it

Then why did my installer give me a cover and say cover it in the winter? Don’t make the cover and relay the advice if it’s not needed. Easier for mice to get into my house, which is much warmer, than my covered air conditioner.

I suggest getting an nordic/artic version and use it to heat in the winter. We now have -20°C outside and my minisplit is main heat source in my house

If it ain't raining it's snowing.

Do you cover your AC? Let us know!

We were told to not cover our air conditioner because mice will get in there.

i cover mine every winter with about 1 foot of clearance all around the bottom.Cars are built for winter as is a HVAC but I have seen many times where old man winter tears up things left outside.He can shorten the life of parts on just about anything.IMO.

Great video! It's eye-opening to see how much heating costs dominate Canadian households' energy bills. The tips on sealing drafts and getting a smart thermostat are really practical! I’m curious-how significant is the difference in energy consumption between electric heat pumps and natural gas furnaces in the long run, especially with fluctuating energy prices? Would upgrading to an electric heat pump in colder provinces like Alberta really save money in the long run?

I think a cover just for the top is the best…

I don’t own one, but I do like this video.

Get rid of the damn music.

Hi we are in need of replacing a 28 year old furnace for a 1996 Bi Level total sq ft 2500 we are seniors on a so called fixed income so payments would be prefered a furnace guy by us recommended a Weatherking 70,000 BTU single stage furnace what we need to know is are they reliable and a good brand ? what brand would you recommend and size we live in Vulcan Alberta Canada we also have already a 3-4 year old Air conditioner this is an investment for us so we want best bang for the buck so to speak but very reliable thank you so much and we look forward to your response cheers

thanks for the valuable info. need a new furnace for 2700 ft detached home in peel. any recommendations on furnace brand and install technician/ companies.

A Carrier midrange furnace 90% efficiency 60 btu in the midwest cost from the supplier $1400 to the hvac guy. Most double the price to you. Then charge $225 to $300 for installing the furnace only. Most of the big hvac companies are owned by sellers that subcontract the work out... If they tell you the heat exchanger is cracked get a second opinion. A capacitor for your air condenser is approximately $40 , is what they pay. It takes about 15 minutes to change and they charge $300 on up for labor. You vant change this yourself because you have to know how to safely discharge the charge on the capacitor or blow your heart out. So shop around, ask Hvac Distributors for referrals, that's how I got someone who is honest and anticipates my needs qnd budget... Good Luck, Buyer Beware

I was looking at Carrier but quickly decided against because of poor dealer choices and stupidly high pricing of the units and crazy high parts pricing. Lots of choices puts Carrier out of the market.

Phew mine is 40 years old and finally will replace it this year.

Our 1964 gas furnace just runs and runs. The old furnace is 80% efficient, so the payback period of a 95% furnace (or heat pump) does not compute for us 72 year old occupants. We already replaced the wiring, fan belt and the fancy gas valve. So our old furnace is likely good for another 60 years. We did get three bids on a new system, with AC, just to see what the economics were, and it did not "pencil out".

$3500 to repair $3850 to replace. 🤔 window ac will work fine for now.

They are way to expensive and HVAC companies better than doubles the cost with 200 percent markup just on the components.

In depth in less than 5 minutes lol, also love how the hashtag redtagging is included in the product add.

And you the consumer pays for all their advertising!

I would do this in a hot second but a little out of my price range. Would like to do just 3 bedrooms. One is a basement and this would provide security not having an open window and the biggest plus is the ability for each room to control their temperature

Yes he is cute. Talked but didn't say much.

You age very well 😄😂

Can we not install nest thermostats when we have this system?

Great video and take on the review method many home owners use to decide on a contractor.

The thing I wanted to find out is why would you get one of these and not just a cheap window unit. Are they just for rich people who don't want to have the poor people stigma of having an AC unit in their window? That's what I'm getting from it.

Cute guy there ;)
