Compressor Unit Placement


EarthLinked
compressor unit on a standard HVAC outdoor unit pad. If inside, place it on a level, hard
surface. If the compressor unit is to be fastened down, see Figure 3 for bracket installation.

Avoid placing the compressor unit in or near sound sensitive areas of the residence.

Attic installations must include an auxiliary condensate pan with drain, and suspension from
rafters with suspension isolators.

Clearance around the unit for service is illustrated in Figure 4. However, local codes and
applicable regulations take precedence.

If the compressor unit or other refrigerant-containing system components are located
indoors, they shall be in a location which (1) is an unoccupied space, or (2) is served by the
circulating air system, or (3) provides 280 cu. ft. of open space per nominal ton of rated
system capacity. The 2012 International Mechanical Code defines residential occupancy
as including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.
Consult local code authorities to define unoccupied space for the specific installation.
