I was really impressed with a number of things.
The snow cap came well packaged to prevent scratches, and included all necessary hardware, tools and relatively clear instructions.
The quality of the materials used are very high. It appears to have a finish that will be very durable.
Assembly was quire easy for the most part. The exception was installing the screws on the back side. Most heat pumps are installed close to the building so being able to line up the holes and screws on the back side was a bit of a challenge. Eventually I used the camera on my smart phone as a mirror to be able to install those screws.
The cap is now installed and looks really good on the heat pump and next to the house.
The price of the snow cap was a bit high for my liking, but I’m sure it is in part due to costs incurred with the design and engineering. It was very well thought out with an eye to making installation easy and straightforward and adaptable to varying sizes of heat pumps.
Now we’ll see how it actually handles the snow, but at this point I’m pretty confident it will work very well.
Overall, very impressive.
This is a great product and was super easy to assemble. It looks way nicer than other covers that I was able to research. I would highly recommend this for any heat pump unit.
I put a mini-split in my garage. I’ve had trouble multiple times last winter with snow either on the unit itself or slowly coming off the garage above and landing on it, then melting and getting sucked in by the fan and then turning into large icicles in the unit hitting the plastic fan blades. It’s sounds like a machine gun, and I have to turn it off, because I’m worried it’s going to break a fan blade. I thought of making something, but I saw this online and thought I’d try it. I was going to be very critical of any review, because of how expensive this thing is. But I have to say, it appears to be very well built. It installed fine and looks good. I do believe it will fix my issue too. Thanks
I am very pleased with the quality and the ease with which I was able to install the mini snow cap. I received the order on schedule and was able to assemble and install in about an hour and half. Just in time for major snow storm here in E. Lyme, CT. Thanks again for such a high quality Snow Cap.
Cannot say enough about the excellent service and follow up. Would highly recommend Hanger.
