Relocating Your Air Conditioning Unit for a Durable Composite Deck
When considering the installation of a composite deck in Quebec, the location of your air conditioning unit can pose a challenge. To ensure an aesthetic and functional outdoor living space, the best option is often to move the unit out of the area planned for your structure. Although this solution may cost a few hundred dollars, it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run.
Why relocate your air conditioner before construction
Most air conditioner manufacturers recommend maintaining a minimum clearance of 60 inches (152 cm) in height above the compressor. This clear zone allows hot air to escape without obstruction. Without adequate airflow, your unit risks overheating and failing, thus compromising your summer comfort.
- 60" Clearance: Follow manufacturers' recommendations to prevent overheating.
- Access for Maintenance: Ensure a technician can easily access components for maintenance.
- Noise and Heat Reduction: Moving the unit protects your outdoor living space from noise and thermal disturbances.
