An air conditioning (A/C) cover is provided that includes a mesh material configured as a cone. The cone has a lower base circumference that is designed to cover an exhaust fan opening of an A/C unit. The cover can be formed from metal or plastic mesh. In some embodiments a breathable material on a frame is configured as a cone with a lower base circumference that is designed to cover an exhaust fan opening of an A/C unit. A process of protecting an exhaust fan from debris infiltration includes the provision of a flat sheet of a mesh material to an end-user with instructions how to form a cone from the mesh material and how to use fasteners to retain the shape of the cone; and coupling the cone to a housing around the exhaust fan.

1. An air conditioning cover comprising: a flat mesh material having a first edge and a second edge, said mesh material being releasably configurable as a cone by joining the first edge and the second edge of said mesh material using at least one removable joining fastener, said cone having a lower base circumference that is designed to cover an exhaust fan opening of an A/C unit, said cone being releasably attachable to the A/C unit by at least one removable attaching fastener. 2. The cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of bungee cords, an elastic band, an adjustable band clamp, snap connectors, a plunger-type retainer, or a combination thereof. 3. The cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of cable ties or twisted wire. 4. The cover of claim 1 wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of plunger-type retainers. 5. The cover of claim 1 wherein said mesh material is formed from plastic. 6. An air conditioning cover comprising: a plastic breathable material on a frame, said frame having a first edge and a second edge, said frame being releasably configurable as a cone by joining the first edge and the second edge of said frame using at least one removable joining fastener, said cone having a lower base circumference that is designed to cover an exhaust fan opening of an A/C unit, said cone being releasably attachable to the A/C unit by at least one removable attaching fastener. 7. The cover of claim 6 wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of bungee cords, an elastic band, an adjustable band clamp, snap connectors, plunger-type retainers, or a combination thereof. 8. The cover of claim 6 wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of cable ties or twisted wire. 9. The cover of claim 6 wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of plunger-type retainers. 10. The cover of claim 6 wherein said frame is formed from metal or plastic. 11. A process of protecting an exhaust fan from debris infiltration comprising: providing an end-user with a flat sheet of a mesh material having a first edge and a second edge;providing instruction for forming a cone from the flat sheet of mesh material;providing instruction for releasably joining the first edge and the second edge of the mesh material using at least one removable joining fastener to retain the cone shape, said cone having a lower base circumference that is sized to cover an exhaust fan opening of an A/C unit; andproviding instruction for releasably attaching said cone to a housing around the exhaust fan along the lower base circumference of the cone using at least on removable attaching fastener. 12. A process of protecting an exhaust fan from debris infiltration comprising: providing an end-user with a flat sheet of a mesh material as a cone;forming a cone from the mesh material;providing instruction how to use fasteners that penetrate through at least two layers of the mesh material to retain a shape of said cone;coupling said cone to a housing around the exhaust fan; andtrimming said cone prior to joining said cone to said housing. 13. The cover of claim 1 wherein said mesh is formed from metal. 14. The cover of claim 1 wherein the first edge and the second edge of the mesh material are releasably joined together by removable joining fasteners that penetrate through at least two layers of the mesh material to retain a shape of said cone. 15. An air conditioning cover comprising: a mesh material having a first edge and a second edge releasably joined together by at least one removable joining fastener such that the mesh material forms a cone, said cone having a lower base circumference that is designed to cover an exhaust fan opening of an A/C unit;wherein said cover is releasably attachable to said A/C unit with at least one removable attaching fastener of a bungee cord, an elastic band, an adjustable band clamp, snap connectors, a plunger-type retainer, a cable tie, a twisted wire, or a combination thereof. 16. The cover of claim 1 wherein the at least one removable joining fastener is a cable tie, wire, a plunger-type retainer, or a combination thereof. 17. The cover of claim 6 wherein the at least one removable joining fastener is a cable tie, wire, a plunger-type retainer, or a combination thereof. 18. The process of claim 11 wherein the at least one removable joining fastener is a cable tie, wire, a plunger-type retainer, or a combination thereof. 19. The cover of claim 15 wherein the at least one removable joining fastener is a cable tie, wire, a plunger-type retainer, or a combination thereof. 20. The cover of claim 1 wherein said cone if releasably attachable to the A/C unit by at least one removable attaching fastener along the lower base circumference of the cone. 21. The process of claim 12 wherein the penetrating at least two layers of the mesh material to retain a shape of said cone is accomplished without a tool. 22. The process of claim 12 wherein the cover is configured to be stored flat when not in use.
