Mark J. Biel • May 20, 2020

HVAC is necessary for your home’s comfort and good indoor air quality. However, at times, outdoor units can look unsightly and stick out in your exterior. Fortunately, there are things you can do to conceal it without harming its efficiency or causing damage. 

Here effective tips to hide your outdoor HVAC unit without sacrificing its performance from a trusted cooling and heating repair company. 

Wooden Panel or Privacy Gates

Privacy gates or wooden panels are a traditional way to hide outdoor HVAC equipment. This option doesn’t attract as much attention and comes in a wide range of styles and materials. You can have the gates painted in a color that complements your exterior or leave it as is. 

Tall Grasses

At a safe distance, foliage and plants won’t pose harm to your outdoor HVAC unit. Before planing anything near your unit, make sure to do your research. If you’re unsure about this option, you can consult an air conditioner repair contractor. Tall grasses are a popular option for hiding HVAC unit. They can either be planted around the unit or in pots. This plant is known for its capability to withstand weather extremes. It can also add more privacy to your yard and make it look more luxurious. 

Trellis

Trellises are a beautiful way to merge the appeal of ironwork and colorful flowers. It is also a great way to hide your outdoor unit. They are usually made for flowers to crawl in and you can choose a design that matches your outdoor decor or furniture. Go for climbing plants like roses, English Ivy, or clematis to add some pop of color to your exterior.
