Why would someone steal an air conditioner unit? Most thieves are only interested in the cooper inside the unit. They remove all the cooper from the system and take it to their local scrapping company. Unfortunately, scrapping companies are not required to ask where the materials came from, they only have to get the seller’s EPA or driver’s license. The truly sad part is that the thief will maybe get $100 for his dishonest efforts, while the repair cost for the A/C unit would be a few thousand dollars.

If you think about it, your air conditioner unit is probably in a great spot to be tampered with. Most units are in the back of the house and have some bushes around it. Also, if you have a privacy fence, that can give a thief all the encouragement they need.

A friend’s A/C unit is in an inlet in the back of his house, so the unit is unseen on three sides, which gives thieves lots of cover. That’s why he recently purchased a cage to help protect his air conditioner unit.

Midstate’s A/C guards and cages are extremely strong and fully adjustable to fit units measuring 23" wide to 36" wide and 24" high to 45" high. They are service tech friendly and easy to install. There are even other colors available to match your air conditioner unit. Our cages and guards are extremely durable and will last for many, many years.

You may ask if your A/C unit has to have a concrete pad? No, you do not need to have a concrete pad under your unit, but you will have to anchor the guard or cage to ground in some way. Don’t worry, we provide instructions on how to do so.

Well what if you have an office building or an extremely large house or you just want your house to be as cold as a polar bear’s cave? You probably have an air conditioner that is larger than the maximum size of most units. No worries! For larger condensers, two cages can be put together by facing the open sides toward each other to fully enclose the condenser. We can provide instructions on how to do this as well. Believe me, we have you covered for your A/C security needs.
