AC Shade-Safe, Affordable, & Effective Way to Shade Your AC

AC Shade from Jeff Hill's Philadelphia team is a precision-engineered shade cover for outdoor AC units. The science is simple: a sun-baked condenser works harder and burns more electricity — shading it lowers energy bills and extends the unit's life, while umbrellas and tarps are ugly DIY hacks. AC Shade blocks solar heat with a purpose-built structure: three-step installation in minutes, all-weather durability, and the only safe, affordable, effective way to shade your AC. Launched in July 2025, it raised about $415,568 against a $7,000 goal — roughly 5,937% funding from 3,793 backers.
