Chances are you paid quite a bit for your air conditioner. Displaying it in your yard is not considered a status symbol, however. External air conditioner units are usually best left unnoticed. Reducing the air flow around the air conditioner will impede performance, so how can you hide your air conditioner without hampering it? Orlando air conditioning service providers, All Temp, have a few ideas you may find appealing.
- Keep your air conditioner cool by giving it a shady space. If you have a pre-existing unit, consider an awning above it, or plant quick-growing tubers such as elephant ears around it. Elephant ears are water lovers and drink the water from the drip line to grow to enormous proportions around your air conditioner, building a symbiotic relationship between air conditioner and plant.
- Build or purchase a screen or fence around the air conditioner after checking your unit’s specifications for air intake. Choose something attractive yet unobtrusive, such as fencing that matches the shutters or roof, or a screen that blends in with the surrounding area.
- A dedicated structure for the air conditioner and any other outdoor appliances you wish to store is sometimes the best solution. A lean-to or enclosed shed may house not only the air conditioner, but a lawnmower, garden tools, lawn pump, etc. While this idea may seem rather expensive, consider the price of a stand-alone shed: since the two would perform the same task, the dedicated air conditioner structure may be the best of both worlds, especially if it reduces your energy bill every month.
