AC Tips: Roof or balcony, where should the AC compressor be placed? Know the right place..

AC Tips: AC becomes an important device to provide relief during summer. Coming from the scorching sun outside and sitting in an AC room gives a lot of relief to the body. AC comes in many variants and capacities, but how well it will cool depends on where you have fitted the outside unit, i.e., the compressor. If the compressor is fitted at the wrong place, it will keep consuming electricity, and cooling will not be better. Not only this, but if the air flow is not done properly, then due to overheating, there can be a blast in the AC.

A blast can happen
If the compressor is fitted at the wrong place, it will keep consuming electricity, and cooling will not be better. Not only this, but if the air flow is not done properly, there can be a blast in the AC due to overheating. Therefore, while installing the AC compressor, some things must be kept in mind so that the machine remains safe for a long time and works better.

Where should the compressor be kept?
The compressor should be kept in a place where it can get air. It is important to have air flow around the compressor so that it can cool down. Placing the compressor unit at the wrong place will not provide it with cool air, and in such a situation, the AC compressor may get damaged or even catch fire due to overheating.

Where to place it on the roof or balcony?

Both the roof and balcony are the right places to place the AC compressor unit. But whether you choose the roof or the balcony depends on the space available in your house. If your balcony remains shaded for a long time, then the balcony will be the best place to keep the compressor. On the other hand, if you do not have a balcony in your house, then you can also keep it on the roof.

Keep this in mind while placing it on the roof.

It is better to keep the compressor in the shade to get better cooling from the AC. If you have to get the compressor fitted on the roof itself, then definitely get a shed made for it. Get the shed made in such a way that water does not fall directly on the compressor, and the sunlight does not fall directly on it during the day. This will protect the compressor from the effects of sunlight and water and will also increase its life.

Airflow should be maintained
While installing the compressor, pay attention to whether the unit will be able to get enough air or not. If the space is very small and there is lack of ventilation, then avoid installing the compressor there. The compressor installed in such a place starts overheating.
