A mounting support, typically constructed of metal, used to affix the outdoor condenser unit of a ductless air conditioning system to a building’s exterior wall, and commonly available at a large home improvement retailer, provides a stable and secure platform. For instance, individuals installing a mini-split system often seek these supports to ensure proper elevation and weight distribution of the external component.
Employing such a support offers several advantages. It elevates the unit, protecting it from ground-level debris, snow accumulation, and potential flooding. This elevation also promotes better airflow around the condenser, improving its operational efficiency and extending its lifespan. Historically, securing these units directly to the ground or using makeshift supports led to premature failures and decreased performance.
