Why it matters
The GZAODMCP Outdoor Unit Sun Shade is an outdoor cover for a mini-split condenser.
Use a full cover only when the system is off for the season. A heat pump that runs in winter must never be covered while it runs; a top-only shade or shield keeps snow and sun off without blocking airflow.
The listing gives dimensions of 41.7 inL x 11 inW x 11 inH, a shipping or unit weight of 13.6 pounds, air conditioner cover, bracket, screw in the box and galvanized steel construction.
