Lid Keeps Air Conditioner Clean
He designed a simple cover out of metal flashing (used for roofing) and bent it down over the backside of the top of the air conditioner. Metal screws hold it in place. He turned the conditioner on to see how far it blew the top open and secured the front of the flashing to the front of the conditioner with a strong cord.
"That stops the cover from going backwards in a strong wind," Smith explains. The flashing covers the air conditioner when it's not running and is light enough to lift up when the fan kicks on.
"It's worked great for two years," Smith says. "It keeps the inside of the air conditioner completely clean. I haven't had to clean it out at all."
Smith, a retired pastor, plans to patent his idea and is willing to talk to anyone interested in manufacturing it.
