I am someone who prefers to protect their central heating & A/C plan unit, so what I have regularly done is have a fence around it.
This fence will protect it from any kind of injure from teenagers playing back there to some wild critters doing any disfigure.
In some cases it even protects it while the people I was with and I were in any kind of large wind storm where things are blowing all over the place. But this gate I have that is in front of the fence is starting to wear thin. It is so old it is starting to rust apart. I need to get a new gate soon because if it finally crumbles apart, the fence will do no nice against the central heating & A/C plan unit, my central heating & A/C plan is rather new. I had just replaced it about a year ago. The old central heating & A/C plan was over 15 years old plus it was time to substitute it… And this fence did it honestly well in keeping it safe plus certainly why it lasted for 15 years! That plus regularly getting my heating & A/C tune ups plus check ups from the local heat plus air conditioning system supplier helped as well. So with the brand new plus totally modern central heating & A/C plan that I have, I want to ensure it has just as long of a life, if not longer if possible! This is why I need to get this gate to the fence substituted as soon as humanly possible.
