In today’s episode of the Build Show, Travis dives into an often-overlooked topic — protecting your mini-split systems. Filming at his Prairie Sun and Timber Series project, Travis shares lessons learned from his own installations, where snow and ice runoff threatened outdoor HVAC units. He introduces a smart, ready-made solution from Hanger Outdoor called the “Snow Cap,” designed to shield condensers from roof debris, hail, and extreme weather without blocking airflow. Joined by designer and fabricator Braden, Travis explores how this product evolved from an aesthetic fix into a durable, easy-to-install protective cover made from powder-coated aluminum. They also preview Hanger Outdoor’s upcoming Pro Line, which includes commercial hail guards for large systems. Whether you’re a builder, HVAC pro, or homeowner, this episode offers practical ways to extend the life and appearance of your mini-splits while keeping maintenance simple.
