Scott H. - Protection Plus How The Whip® works The Whip® attaches to the existing service valve of your air conditioner system.  It is then connected to your security system by a security cable or a wireless transmitter.  The Whip® constantly monitors the pressure inside the copper lines and coils of your air conditioner.  When the thief cuts the copper the pressure drops and The Whip® activates your security system.  The patented tamper-proof design provides a high level of security.  No security system is complete until The Whip® is installed.

Your homeowner's insurance carrier might need some convincing as well! I once watched as a carpenter was carted off in an ambulance because a single bundle of shingles fell from a two-story roof and landed on his head. You can imagine what might happen if a several hundred pound AC unit fell and landed on someone - even if your home is only one story. I'm not sure how large your home is or how many HVAC zones it might have, but even a small residential outside AC unit can be fairly substantial.

I can't imagine any circumstance where two roofing nails would be enough to secure the frame that holds one in place. My guess is that not only were the bolts required, but that on the underside of the roof sheathing there has framing added to help carry the unit's weight. Not only should the bolts have been reinstalled, it's also very important that the frame be situated in the exact same position that it was prior to being removed. The bolts should also go into something solid - not just through the roof sheathing. I don't know when you next plan on having your HVAC system serviced, but if it's not in the immediate future, it might be worth having the contractor make a special visit. The HVAC contractor installed that frame when they set the home's equipment so they should know exactly how it needs to be secured.

Enter your zip code to begin your search:Thieves realize that they can make a quick buck from copper elements that are easily retrieved from your air conditioning unit. Air conditioning units are usually located out of site, (in your back or side yard) where they can be torn apart within 5 minutes just to retrieve the valuable copper elements of your unit. A thief’s ultimate goal is to get in and out as quickly as possible.  With the proper tools, they snip, cut and tear apart your unit within minutes. The sad truth is that the thief makes approximately $40 and the homeowner/ business owner incurs approximately $700 in repairs or even worse, $5,000 or more for a new air conditioner plus installation costs. An AC-Guard™ Air Conditioner Cage will discourage the thief from even bothering with your air conditioner. Our Air Conditioner Cage is completely adjustable and expands to fit most air conditioning units for commercial and residential units. Cages adjusts from 34”H x 30”W x 30”D to 59” H x 51”W x 51”D
