In Part 1, which you can read here, we learned that copper thieves are targeting anywhere and everywhere they can find copper. They are hitting foreclosed or vacant houses as well as houses that may appear vacant, for instance a house in which the family is on an extended vacation. They are taking advantage of the world-wide demand for copper by stealing the copper and selling it for big profits to recyclers across the United States.

Whether your air conditioner unit is on the side of the house or in the back, it is vulnerable to copper thieves. Don't let another day go by with an unprotected A/C. Midstate has been making quality products to help protect your property for more than 35 years. It may not seem very important right now, but one encounter with some copper thieves could cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace.

Our Guards & Cages

Midstate's air conditioner guards and cages are attractive, affordable, easily removable for maintenance and incredibly easy to install. They also discourage copper thieves from even bothering with your A/C unit. Midstate’s air conditioner guards and cages are extremely strong and fully adjustable to fit units measuring 23" wide to 36" wide and 24" high to 45" high. 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.

Your Business Too

Don't forget to protect the air conditioner units at your business too. Most businesses have more than one A/C unit, making it a bigger target for copper thieves. The more units in one location, the bigger the profits for them. Many businesses may not get very much foot traffic like there would be in a neighborhood, especially on the weekends. That's why it's doubly important to protect the air conditioner units at your business.

Your business probably has an air conditioner that is larger than the maximum size of most units or several units that are side by side. 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 been in business for more than 35 years and we have you covered for your A/C security needs.
