Our first question is from Diana in Dearborn. Hey Dan, is it OK to use a custom fitted AC cover on my air conditioner in summer? Diana, that is a terrible idea and I am judging you for asking me that.
A custom fitted AC cover is great for protecting your air conditioner in the winter. First, the custom fitted air conditioner cover in the summer will suffocate your air conditioner, Diana. It has to breathe. It has lungs. It's like a baby. It's like a baby lamb, Diana. You're smothering it with a blanket, you monster. The unit might catch fire. I don't know. It's a terrible idea, Diana. When it's summer and you're using the air conditioner, take the AC cover off. Store it in a cool dry place, like under a bed or in your garage. So, when the winter comes, put it back on so the snow and ice doesn't get in the condenser. So do not put it on in the summer or I will find you.
