Most of the drawbacks of covering your air conditioner when it is not in use are related to trapped moisture, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rust and corrosion<\/strong> \u2013 Trapped moisture in the unit can cause the pieces inside the air conditioning unit to become rusted and corroded, leading to breakdown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mold growth<\/strong> \u2013 The same trapped moisture from covering your air conditioner is also a breeding ground for mold growth, which means the next time you go to use your air conditioner, you will be inadvertently bringing mold-laden air inside your home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrical wiring and circuit board damage<\/strong> \u2013 The moisture stuck inside from covering your air conditioner can potentially damage the electric parts inside, meaning parts will need to be repaired or replaced when you try to turn your furnace back on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freezing<\/strong> \u2013 During the cold months, trapped moisture can mean frozen parts such as the coils, leading to damage over the long term. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An additional concern of covering your air conditioner is that it provides shelter for rodents seeking warmth from the inclement weather. These creatures will chew up wires to create nest bedding, turning your air conditioning unit into a fire hazard.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_Your_Air_Conditioner_Maintained_Ready_for_the_Spring\"><\/span>Keep Your Air Conditioner Maintained &amp; Ready for the Spring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/should-not-cover-air-conditioner-in-fall-2-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"Do Not Cover Your Air Conditioner in Fall\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/should-not-cover-air-conditioner-in-fall-2-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/should-not-cover-air-conditioner-in-fall-2.jpg 592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to avoiding covering your air conditioner, the best thing you can do to protect your unit is to make sure you schedule regular maintenance.
