Frequently asked questions

You may use them anywhere there are through-the-wall air conditioners with sleeves protruding from the exterior of the building by 2″ or more! They work exceptionally well when undersized replacement units (or no units at all) are installed into existing sleeves that cause large gaps.

BreezeBlocker Air Conditioner Covers are designed and sized specifically for the most commonly used through-the-wall manufacturers like: GE, Hotpoint, Fedders, Friedrich, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Norge, Coldpoint, Westinghouse, and more.You can get more specifics on our Outdoor Cover page and our Indoor Cover page.

BreezeBlocker’s custom fit and heavy, internally sewn elastic shock cord hold the cover tightly to the sleeve.

Our BreezeBlocker installs in seconds. No screws, bungee cords, tape, or belts. Simply slip over the sleeve, and you are done. Check out our Installation Demo Video.

No, you don't. The unit only needs a minimum depth of 4", and the cover doesn't need to extend over the entire unit to provide a good seal and protection.The exceptions to this rule would be if your unit is deeper than 4" and has louvers or vents on the sides in addition to the back. Or if you have a replacement unit installed that is smaller than the old unit, leaving gaps between the unit and sleeve. In those cases, we encourage you to get a custom sleeve that covers the entire unit to keep all drafts out.

First, determine if you can cover your unit(s) from the inside, outside, or both. Then, using our guide, measure your sleeve and use the charts on the Indoor and Outdoor pages to find your perfect match.Indoor CoversOutdoor Covers

BreezeBlocker offers 6 standard indoor cover models, which you can view here. If your AC is fairly square in the front and protrudes at least 4" from the wall, our standard outdoor covers may also be an option and can be installed on the inside if that's your preference. You may also contact us about custom covers.

The owners of BreezeBlocker have had covers on their own buildings for more than 25 years, and they still look and function great! These buildings are located in the greater Chicagoland and Milwaukee areas and experience a broad range of harsh winter weather for more than five months straight every year.

BreezeBlocker covers protect your units from dirt, dust, debris, insects and bugs, water, ice, sun, cold, drafts, heat loss, and high utility bills. They also help keep your building's exterior looking well-kempt year-round.

YES, we strongly encourage leaving on all winter!

No, it will not. Each size cover is designed for a specific AC. Even if you buy the wrong size, you won't damage anything. Still, it's important to get the correct fit so it will “Fit like a glove.”

All Outdoor and Indoor Covers are made with the same high-quality fleece-lined material. We always recommend applying the cover from outside if possible. However, access is not always permitted to apply a cover outdoors if the AC unit is in an area that cannot be reached (Typically AC units that cannot be safely reached from the ground or with a ladder).

No. If the PTAC unit has a heating feature (pump/element) in use, it should not be covered! Because these units emit heat and need to ventilate while running, covering them could damage the AC or the cover.

Currently, we offer custom sizing only, not custom colors. Limited-supply colors may vary from year to year, as we source colors we believe will look good in and on customers' homes.

We currently offer nationwide shipping in the US and Canada. US and Canadian orders typically ship within 2-4 business days. Large quantity orders may take longer, as each cover is sewn to order! For larger orders, we communicate with the customer and give them an ETA for the lead time.

We recommend removing the covers and letting them dry completely before folding them up and storing them for the summer. You can clean any dirt/residue on the cover with a mild cleaning solution, but we usually just wipe it down with warm water and a cloth. We have been using the same covers on our managed units for over 20 years.

We can make a cover in multiple sizes and dimensions. All covers have a 2" minimum depth and a 16" maximum depth. If you have questions, call our team at 847-731-3597.
