  • I take mine out. I think I'm going to leave ours in for another week or so to make sure it wont be needed again. I just cant stand the look of it.

  • We always take them out... When I was a kid we just covered them and they always let tons of cold air in around them... So we just remove them and it works must better.

  • We have a central air unit now so no need, but when we had window units we took them out so we didn't have the extra drafts.

  • We have central units so we leave them be.
    But when you have window units - there is nothing worse than leaving them in the windows over the winter as they do not provide a tight seal to keep the cold air out.
