conservation mart presents Simple Ways to Weatherize: Use Window Air Conditioner Covers to Stop Air Leakage posted at Energy & Water Conservation Blog, saying, "Indoor air conditioners provide great relief from the hot air that summer brings. However, during the colder months of the year an indoor air conditioner becomes a source for drafts. When drafts come into a home, energy is lost, resulting in an increase in energy bills. Instead of ripping the unit out of the wall and covering that hole every winter, install window air conditioner covers over the AC unit. It is a simple way to insulate the air conditioner and increase the level of comfort in the home without increasing bills."
