My condenser is in direct light
I live in a 2-family room duplex, and I like it here. The locale is perfect for me because I live alone. I don’t own the home, although I am friends with the property owner. Well, he’s more love family, he’s very fantastic friends with my dad. And when he heard I was looking for a space to rent for a few weeks he did not hesitate to offer this space to me. I like this duplex because it has a small yard where I can sit and hang out from time to time. I have a covered swinging bench that I obtained, so it provides a space to write and work while I was in the morning. While standing in the yard, I noticed that the condenser is in direct sunlight. There is a small bush around it however it’s not providing too much shade. And with the temperatures heating up the way that they have been, I am wondering if that heat doesn’t create extra wear and tear on the unit. Or cause it to lose efficiency, which means I would end up paying more than I should to keep the locale cool. So, I did a quick search and found that these outside condensers are pretty durable. They are built to withstand dire weather love storms and heavy rain. However, I discovered that they are the most efficient when the temperature is 100 degrees or below. Well, lately the temperature has been in the high 90’s, which means that this component being in the direct sunshine could be losing some efficiency. Perhaps, I could ask my dad’s buddy to build some kind of shading for the condenser unit.
