Have you ever observed that occasionally your outdoor A/C equipment is on the ground, but other people have theirs on the roof? Oftentimes, I have observed that businesses, especially, will have their Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment up on the roof.
My church’s Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment is housed on the roof.
This has always seemed very odd to me because if somebody has to go up there for maintenance or repair, it seems like it would just be easier to have the equipment on the ground. That made me try to figure out what could be the advantages of having your Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment installed on your roof. Well, first off, I will say that it does give you more space in your yard. I have a very tiny backyard because I live in a townhouse. if I did not have the A/C equipment sitting right there on the ground, that would give me about four square feet extra of space where I could either plant flowers or let my dog run free. I suppose that is an advantage, although I do not know how significant it very is. So then my friend and I thought, well, I have observed that one of the things you very have to do if you have Central Heating as well as Cooling is make sure that that outside equipment does not get overgrown with lawnes or leaves or any kind of bushes that grow around it. In other words, your Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment needs room to breathe. There must be air flow in order to be healthy. so, I guess, having your Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment on the roof will mean that you do not have to worry about bushes being planted around the edges too close or things of that nature. The last time the A/C guy came for my proper maintenance call, I decided to ask him, as well as it turns out the number one reason for putting the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment on the roof is to avoid theft! I found that shocking as well as also a uneasy commentary on the state of affairs.
