What is an A-C DraftShield?

• Energy audit A-C DraftShield – This type of cover is used as a temporary vent cover for energy audit professionals performing home energy audits.

• Through-the-wall A-C DraftShields – These specially designed vent covers fit on wall-mounted air conditioners. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings in seconds without any complicated tools.
