As you begin to plan your spring plantings, keep your home comfort system outdoor units in mind. Air conditioner and heat pump outdoor units are heat exchangers. They need intake and exhaust air to operate efficiently. If air cannot circulate, the unit could build up heat and require service. Manufacturers generally agree that plants should not be closer than 18 inches. When planting, allow for future growth, and if you have mature plantings around your units, check to see if they need to be trimmed. Keep a 3-4 feet space open over the unit.
Remember to allow room for your Garnett Refrigeration service tech to service your unit without disturbing your plantings. Regular service is key for extending the life of your home comfort units.
