I wish you would address the issue of harmonics. My condenser unit is next to the bedroom. In Tucson you have the AC going all the time in the summer so I feel the vibration and I can hear the harmonics just goes right through me thanks
If the line set is fastened tightly against a joist or stud, instead of with a stand-off type support, it will cause the vibration and noise you are explaining.
Yup, I built a platform for mine out of pressure treated wood and plastic decking. Mostly with heatpump use in mind, but also to keep leaves and grass away from it.
It would make sense to slightly elevate it because I clean my Trane 2.5 ton outside unit in my backyard thatvsits on a slab off once a year and the coils are always dirtier at the bottom of the spline coils. I wouldnt mind elivating it several inches higher. I also have two dogs and I weedeat around it.
Hello Josh, love your video presentations, always a great source of HVAC information! Might I add? My HVAC co. gave me options to the mounting of my Mitsu ODU. I did not want them using the wall mount for a couple reasons as follows: No added holes in my outer walls, and no vibrations getting transferred into my home. So, they offered the 'Quick Sling' which I noted in your photo of the Mitsu unit toward the end of your presentation. Their method is to mount the Quick Sling on a pair of 6x6" pressure treated 'rails', and then that gets leveled on a trap rock bedding. I had them repeat the same setup for my newest Mitsu addition last month so the two ODU's would match. Yeah, I am a guy who likes things on the outside of the home neat and uniform, even though, none of this can be seen from the front of my home. Thanks again, looking forward to your next one !
I’m being told by my hvac guy that he wants me to put a concrete slab but have the heat pump at minimum of 8 inches above the slab with nothing underneath it because it will freeze and make a block of ice underneath it. Is this a thing?
