Outside AC screen

[tigersharkjd]

We are currently in Wyoming and the cottowood trees are beginning their shedding of the cotton type seed discharge that at its height will look like a heavy snow fall. I am thinking about placing a screen like you would find in a window on the outside of my residential AC cooling radiator to stop these cotton pieces from being sucked into the radiator. Then just go out and shake them off the screen a couple of times a day. Has anyone tried this and does anyone beleive this may restrict the airflow to a degree to harm the AC unit? Thanks for any input.

I haven't done it but I wish I would have thought of it. I was in St. Charles, MO. last spring and they had a similar type of seed floating thru the air. When I check the the A/C it looked like someone had put a batten of fiberglass around the inside of the unit. Good idea, don't forget to clean it.

Some window screen material and velcro strips should do the trick for a temporary additional screen. Polish or bug and tar remover should clean up the velcro adhesive when the screens are no longer needed.

Use suction cups for attachment
