Dryer Vent Next To Condensing Coil
Why do they put these things so close to the condensing coil? The outside of the coil (hidden by the outer casing) was almost fully covered with lint on the side exposed to the dryer vent. I asked the owner when was the last time he had the unit serviced. He kind of stumbled for an answer so I figure it had been a while. In my final report I suggested having a licensed HVAC contractor clean and service the unit, and have someone clean the dryer duct. It would be difficult to move either the duct or the outside HVAC unit. What could they do different to keep lint from collecting on the unit. I have a couple of ideas, but wanted to hear what the experts thought.
