This looks like it covers to entire unit. Is there a concern about restricting airflow to the unit?

I have seen the come on new high end units. It works well to cut down the noise.

It does not restrict the airflow to the coils, and from what I understand the compressor is internally cooled and might benefit from the more constant temperature with the blanket.

Apparently it doesn't matter. I did have an older piston style compressor which I found out will not work well with a sound blanket. Definitely quiter though.

It only covers the compressor. Air flow is not a consideration. Dramatically decreased the noise of the pool heat pump, particularly the whine.

It only covers the compressor which is a sealed unit and doesn't air flow. You are basically putting an insulating blanket around a tank.

Does not restrict airflow at all. It only covers the compressor not any part of the fan. It works very well. It cut my compressor noise level in half.

This only covers the actual compressor inside the unit. Not the complete unit. You need to remove the fan and reach down to install over the compressor... Air flow should be the same.

The owner of the a/c company that services the unit said that this type of sound blanket would not have any negative effect on the compressor..that it wouldn't restrict air flow. It's only been 3 months but so far, so good.

It only covers the compressor motor the coils that require air flow are on the side of the unit

Should not be a problem. This cover is primarily to prevent icing and debris from getting into the condensor while still allowing air to pass through the side coils.

I put it through the wall. My sleeve is too big for this AC, so there is plenty room for ventilation between the sleeve wall and the unit.

Living in Beauty has it covered. Make sure the small vent release is not sticking. It should be loose until it pops shut.

Yes i have one of these units . there is a plastic cover for the front of the unit which fits nicely and kind of hides the unit.

This is only for protection especially during Fall/winter for the AirCon. Take it off when AirCon is in use.

I've not had a problem...as others have said, be certain that fan has area free for air flow.

It does not block the vents. I'm sure it runs slightly hotter just based on physics :) but I have not noticed anything abnormal. I love the case so far (2 months)

I think it would offer even better protection against the elements. As long as the cover does not seal the air condition unit and trap moisture, tshould be okay.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!

It will slightly restrict the airflow just because it has parts sort of in the way, but air can easily flow past those parts. If you need to block airflow more thoroughly, you will need a separate mechanism to do this.

I have it within a few inches of the back wall. I don't think there are any restrictions about space around the unit, although my sauna is open on 3 sides, the outside doesn't seem to get too warm. Check the manual. The vent for the sauna is in the roof. There are narrow windows on each side near the front, which you wouldn't want to block.

My unit is the same size and the cover fits nicely over the fan shroud, the bungee cords that come with the cover hold it in place. No leafs get in!

Hi Suzy! My air condition unit is about the same dimensions. This is the second winter season I've covered the a.c unit to protect the interior components from the elements. It's durable and effective.

You should only use it for the season the unit is not in use. Remove it befor you turn the unit on for the season so you do not restrict air flow.

If u r going to install a thru the wall air conditioner, u definitely need a sleeve for the unit to be stable and secure. It is simply the proper way to do it. Hope this is helpful.

I've never used the filter without the dust cover but I can say that the unit does restrict air flow somewhat. I have in inline 400 cfm fan attached to the filter and there is some slight blow back with the filter attached...I use the filter to mask odor and it does an excellent job and I have no complaints! If your Hyper Fan pushes more than 400 cfm then I wouldn't worry about the resistance. Hope this helps!
