Came across this on FB. Under title of "tips for winter". They suggest to put plywood over the unit to protect against icicles and branches, yet don't address the fact that you're choking the fan. To me, it screams stupid. But just in case I'm the dumb one, confirm that this is, in fact, very stupid.

Do you live somewhere that it gets cold enough to make icicles in the winter?

 

[ExWrench]

I'm guessing that guidance is for places where "winter" involves not even thinking about running your A/C unit for the entire winter.

you are the dumb one

but, protip for if you're where cottonwood fuzz exists
wrap your shit in window screen, makes cleaning the fuzz off a lot easier than lifting the fan to be able to blow it out with the hose

We put a cover (like a bbq cover) over ours in the winter to keep blown crap from getting in/around it. yeah, kinda windy here in the winter, whatever. Makes maintenance much easier. Anyway, we dont run the AC in the winter, so .... no issue? Just gotta remember to take it off in teh spring before it warms up. Who runs the AC when it is cold enough for icecicles? Just open teh window for natural and free AC.

Were you thinking it was a heat pump? In that case, you arent wrong.

I don't have icicles
but I would want to go bricks (air gap) , plywood, then bricks to hold it in place

my maintenance was switch the filter out

That's a good idea.

If that's AC only, Okay. If that is a heat pump, not Okay at all.

If its a heat pump then yeah thats dumb, If its just an AC condensor its fine. PS they look exactly the same.
