CURTAINS TO THE SIDE. ROOM FOR YOUR AC.

MEET YOUR CURTAINS’ NEW SIDEKICK

Big curtains.
Little solution.

Window air conditioners and long curtains don’t always get along. AC EARS help them share the same space.

The curved holdbacks mount on the sides of your unit and hold the fabric back. The included steel clips bring your two curtain panels together where you want them.

LET’S GET YOU SET UP

A few simple steps.
No drilling required.

Read the instruction card included with your kit before you begin. These steps are a quick overview.

  1. STEP 01

    Start clean & dry.

    Wipe dusty mounting areas with a damp cloth and let them dry. Check the intended position on each side of the unit before peeling the adhesive backing.

  2. STEP 02

    Attach the holdbacks.

    Apply the supplied adhesive strips to the holdbacks. Remove the backing and mount the left and right pieces on the sides of your AC, following the included card.

  3. STEP 03

    Arrange your curtains.

    Rest the curtain panels behind the arms. Use the included clips to join the panels where needed, attaching from behind for a discreet finish.

A quick check before you finish. Make sure fabric and holdbacks do not cover any air inlet, outlet, control, or service area. Follow your AC manufacturer’s placement and clearance instructions.

GOOD QUESTIONS. STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

A little help,
right here.

Getting to know AC EARS or need a hand with your setup? Start here.

What does AC EARS do?

AC EARS are curtain holdbacks for window air conditioners. They mount to the sides of the unit to help keep curtain fabric from hanging in front of it. The included Homestead Steel clips can hold two curtain panels together.

What comes in one kit?

One left and one right AC EARS holdback, double-sided adhesive strips, three Homestead Steel curtain clips, and one instruction card. The holdbacks are plastic and the clips are steel. Curtains and the air conditioner are not included.

Will AC EARS fit my window air conditioner?

Fit depends on the shape of your unit, the available mounting space, and the position of your curtains. We do not claim universal compatibility. Keep vents, controls, and service panels clear and follow your AC manufacturer’s clearance instructions.

Not sure about your setup? Email us with your AC make and model and a photo of the mounting area before installing.

Do I need tools, screws, or drilling?

No drilling or screws are needed. AC EARS mount with the included double-sided adhesive strips. Clean and dry the mounting areas first, then follow the instruction card supplied with your kit.

How should I use the three curtain clips?

Use the clips to join your two curtain panels where you want them to stay together. Start near the top and work downward as needed. Attach from the back for a more discreet look, and keep the curtain fabric clear of the AC’s vents and controls.

Will this make my room darker or my AC cool faster?

AC EARS hold curtains to the sides of your unit, while the clips hold panels together. How much light is blocked depends on your curtains and installation. We do not claim a specific temperature change, faster cooling, complete darkness, or energy savings.

The adhesive is not holding. What should I check?

Take the curtain load off the holdback and stop using it if it feels loose. Check that the mounting area is clean and completely dry, the adhesive backing has been removed, and the mounting base can sit fully against the surface. Refer to the supplied instructions before remounting.

If the problem continues, contact us with a photo of the holdback, adhesive, and mounting surface. Avoid adding unapproved glue or screws to your air conditioner.

My curtains still hang in front of the unit. What now?

Check that each panel is resting behind its holdback and that excess fabric is not draping over the arm. Adjust the curtain arrangement without pulling hard on the adhesive mount. If you cannot keep the vents and controls clear, stop using that arrangement and contact us with a photo so we can help assess the fit.

Can I remove or reposition the holdbacks?

Adhesive behavior and removal depend on the surface and the strip used. We do not promise damage-free or residue-free removal. Do not force a mounted piece off the unit. Contact us for guidance before removal or repositioning, and follow your air conditioner’s surface-care instructions.
