Reduce Energy Costs
Built for Real-World Installations
Need to fit around a post, fence, wall, another AC unit, or other obstruction?
No problem. AC Shade's modular design allows individual sides to be omitted when necessary while still providing effective shading and preserving airflow.
Many customers discover the solution isn't whether AC Shade will fit — it's simply how to configure it.
It’s Not Whether You Shade Your AC
It’s How You Do It.
AC Shade is a patented, airflow-safe system designed to reduce direct solar load without trapping heat.
- U.S. Patented Technology
- Engineered with Oklahoma State University
- Over 8,000 sold and installed in the US.

Most covers and DIY canopies trap exhaust air and restrict airflow — forcing your system to work harder.
- The problem isn’t shade.
- The problem is blocking heat from escaping.

AC Shade was engineered around that constraint. It blocks direct solar load while preserving vertical exhaust and full airflow — so your condenser can do what it was designed to do.
Blocks direct solar load allowing vertical exhaust to escape freely
Real-World Testing and customer feedback have consistently shown the same thing:
-
Condenser in Direct Sun
Sun adds extra heat the system has to remove.
-
With AC Shade
Reduces solar heat load so more of the system's capacity is used to cool your home.
Windy Conditions
Concerned About Wind?
AC Shade was specifically engineered to avoid acting like a rigid sail while remaining securely attached, even during windy conditions.
Which Size Fits Best
Think Your Unit Is Too Weird?
AC Shade has successfully been installed on package units, rounded units, rooftop units, tapered units, dual-unit installations, and many other configurations. Most customers discover the question isn't whether AC Shade will work—it's simply which size fits best.
System Adaptability
Less than 20" to work with?
All AC Shade canopies extend approximately 20 inches beyond the frame. For tighter installations, poles can be shortened and configurations adjusted to fit unique spaces while maintaining effective shading and proper airflow. Many customers are surprised by how adaptable the system can be.
