Vandal-proof grilles to protect the outdoor unit of the air conditioner

The most expensive and important components of the air conditioner are located in the outdoor unit. Fixing them is sometimes a little cheaper than buying new equipment. Especially sophisticated thieves even manage to dismantle and steal the outdoor module. Therefore, residents of the first floors, private cottages or office owners must take care of the safety of the outdoor module from hooligans. For this, protection for air conditioners was invented.

What is anti-vandal protection

Therefore, it will not have to paint it for at least 5 years. Bolts and screws for fastening to the wall, most often, have to be purchased separately. Indeed, they are different for different types of wall materials.

For air conditioners located directly above the sidewalk, a kind of boxes are erected, the front wall of which is covered with a decorative grill. The roof is made of sheet metal and the sides are static metal shutters. This will reliably protect the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
