Air Conditioning Unit Covers

Barracuda Architectural Series:

Introducing Our Sleek AC Unit Covers


Barracuda is proud to unveil our latest innovation in the Architectural Series – Air Conditioning Covers designed for both unit enclosures and trunking systems. These AC unit covers are crafted to minimise the visual impact of external air conditioning units and pipework against the walls of your home, blending aesthetics, functionality, and simplicity.

Enhanced Design for Optimal Performance

Our new range features two primary products tailored to enhance your home's exterior: the air conditioning cover for the AC unit itself and the trunking cover for pipework. The air conditioning unit enclosure is a robust metal case designed to conceal outdoor AC units, equipped with necessary venting to ensure efficient operation without overheating. The trunking covers are engineered to hide the unsightly beige plastic trunking, improving the visual harmony of your home’s exterior.

Here are some of the many benefits our air conditioning unit covers provides:

  • Aesthetically Pleasing: Our air conditioning covers are designed to complement your home’s exterior. Choose from five standard colours that match your joinery or fascia, with additional specialty colours for custom needs.

  • DIY-Friendly Installation: These covers are designed for easy installation, perfect for DIY enthusiasts. Professional installation is also available for those who prefer expert handling.

  • Customisable Sizing: With standard and custom sizes available, our AC unit covers meet a variety of needs, ensuring a perfect fit for your equipment.

Barracuda AC Unit Cover Quote Form

    1. We make the Barracuda range of AC unit and Hot Water Cylinder covers.  These have been designed in conjunction with AC manufacturers to ensure they meet their specific airflow requirements and NZ environmental conditions.

  • We’re consumers too, so making a cover which is functional, attractive, and durable is important to us.  We found that the budget priced imported covers don’t have the following:

    1. Can’t claim to be NZ Made like a Barracuda is.

    2. Haven’t conducted Airflow engineering to ensure that AC units don’t overheat, like Barracuda have.

    3. Don’t have Adjustable Feet to allow for sloping sufaces (no need for wedges or folded cardboard!) like a Barracuda has.

    4. Don’t meet NZ building code F4AS1 to be safe for use on balconies like a Barracuda does.

    5. Don’t have a 15-year material warranty like a Barracuda does.

    6. Don’t actually hide the AC unit like a Barracuda does.

  • Yes, Prices range from $799 - $999 for standard sized AC covers and $999-$1500 for Hot Water Cylinder covers.  Custom sizing options are available

  • You can call us directly (0800 228 836) to discuss your project or use the “Get a quote” form available on the website. We aim to respond to you within 1 business day.

  • Standard size/colour units are available ex stock.  Custom manufactured units have a 10 working day lead time from confirmation of order.

  • Yes, we have an Auckland delivery and installation service available.  We deliver to a network of Depots across NZ for a flat fee of $75, or you can collect from our Auckland depot at no cost.

  • You can buy standard units directly from our website (www.barracuda/shop.net.nz) for dispatch or collection the next day.

  • We use coated steel in 5 standard colours (Black, Ironsand, Grey Friars, Karaka, Titania) however we have a range of 17 colours to match the colour scheme/joinery of your home.

  • The units only require unboxing and fitting the lid.  It includes brackets to fix it to your house if you wish.  For this you’d need a drill/driver and #2 square head driver.

  • 10 minutes at best.  You’ll stand there looking at it in admiration for longer than it takes to install.

  • Yes.  All Barracuda AC and Hot water covers have a 15-year material warranty.

Hear from our clients

  • "Really happy with my Aircon unit enclosure and trunking covers. The team at Barracuda were able to match the colour with my joinery and it looks amazing. Not only that but they were great to deal with. Would highly recommend these products if you want to hide your light coloured AC unit against a darker coloured house"

    Phil, Papakura

  • “While I love having an AC unit, its not the prettiest thing to look at, particularly when you’ve just built your dream home. We installed a cover on our unit which was colour matched to the scheme of our build and now we barely even notice the Air Conditioner unit is there. Love it!”

    Matt, Pukekohe

  • We highly recommend the Continuous Group having just had a custom built Outdoor Aircon cover made to order. The finished cover is of great quality and fits over numerous pipes and switches seamlessly, with adjustable legs and easy access if required a great product. Available in numerous colours. Plus the team at Continuous and their installation team are great to work with. 5 Stars
