PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the collapse of a fin due to snow cover without a need for a cover for reinforcement. SOLUTION: In an air-conditioning device for a vehicle formed that a condenser unit to perform heat-exchange between a refrigerant fed from a compressor and outside air is arranged on the roof of a condenser unit, a snow melting means is arranged at the condenser unit. Cooling water for an engine for running and a gas refrigerant discharged from the compressor are employed as a heat source for the snow melting means. For example, in a case of the former, a hot water coil 31 is arranged in a zigzagging manner at the upper end of a fin 17 and the hot water coil 31 is connected to the cooling water system of an engine. Cooling water to cool an engine and be warmed into hot water is caused to pass through the hot water coil 31 and by dissipating a potential heat, snow lying on the condenser unit is molten.
