What is a leaf guard? Very simple. The leaf guard is a protective material placed over the outdoor condensing unit top grate. The material should have openings large enough to let air escape so as not to damage the unit. The material we use has a 1/4" opening and is an ultraviolet rated mesh (polyethylene resin). We cut it to fit the size of your grate on the outdoor condensing unit. This leaf guard protects the components in your outdoor condensing unit by stopping twigs, rocks, leaves, etc. from entering. Leaves can sit in the bottom of the unit and cause rust, twigs can get stuck in the fan blade, and rocks can do considerable damage. When the leaves collect in the bottom of your condensing unit, it enable small rodents to nest and cause damage to the wiring. This is a very inexpensive product to help protect your condensing unit.
