QUOTE(yy714 @ Feb 22 2019, 05:39 PM) Grill door and window  This back door open inwards or outwards? They should be two doors. Notice the gap where light trickles in. Unless corrected, rain and insects can come through the gap. Or is there another inner door that's not yet installed? Looking forward to see the rest. Looks nice!

QUOTE(yy714 @ Feb 25 2019, 11:46 AM) AC compressors should be on mounting blocks raised from the floor like thus as shown in the last picture. This post has been edited by halcyon27: May 21 2019, 10:11 AM

QUOTE(yy714 @ May 21 2019, 11:45 AM) Is there any issue if not on mounting blocks as you shown? Rain water splash in? Or worry if got flood? Mainly that and to alleviate from heat stress by avoidance of conduction of excessive heat from the ground.

QUOTE(yy714 @ May 21 2019, 02:23 PM) What if actually the compressor is on ground of upper floor? Same thing. Its always recommended to place the compressor on the riser. The riser should have anti vibration pads as shown in the link given.

QUOTE(yy714 @ May 21 2019, 03:50 PM) Thanks for your professional advise, will discuss with my contractor. Also one more thing, the compressors are placed too close to the wall on its left side for the one the bottom pic I quoted. Its needs space to "breathe" to prevent premature compressor failure due to heat stress. Although York's manual online doesn't show it (but floor support aka risers are shown), Acson's manual does as seen on page 4. Many others will show as does mine too in the manual (pg 35). Come to think of it, the wall mounted Daikin compressors too. They are too close under the roof eaves. Usually, I would leave at least 8"-12" clearance from under the eaves.
