How to Paint Around Air Conditioner?

I recently had to repaint the wall around my air conditioner. Since it’s a tricky area to paint, I researched a lot on how to paint around air conditioner and even after that, it felt like something I couldn’t do on my own. I decided to hire a painter from NoBroker to get the job done right and professionally. He did the painting by cleaning, covering my AC unit, prepping and so on. I have shared the detailed process below. 

Steps to Paint Around Air Conditioner

I observed thoroughly the process to try it myself the next time I need and here’s a step by step guide to it:

• First, the technician started by turning off the power to the AC unit at the breaker box. Once the unit was off, there was a lot of dust around the AC and so they cleaned up the area.

• After the area was clean and dry, they covered the entire AC unit with a plastic sheet and taped off all the electrical connections with painter’s tape. 

• While he was prepping, I noticed that a small section of the wall near the AC had some cracks, so I asked him to fix it before painting. He patched it up nicely, and the wall looked as good as new.

• Next, he carefully painted around the edges of the air conditioner using a small brush. Once the edges were done, he used a roller to paint the rest of the wall. Watching them work, I realized that using the right tools are necessary for the final outcome.

• After the paint dried, he carefully removed the painter’s tape and plastic sheeting. The result was a beautifully painted wall with crisp lines around the air conditioner. There were no paint splatters or mishaps.

Overall, I’m really happy I decided to bring in a professional for this task. If you have an AC unit on your wall and want to paint, use
