Re: Dryer Vent Next To Condensing Coil
Why? Because it's the cheapest and most direct route.

There is a relatively (relative to not costing as much as moving the dryer or a/c condenser unit) inexpensive solution (I've recommended it before and I've seen it done).

Remove the dryer exhaust vent cap, install a 90 degree elbow, run a piece of rigid galvanized dryer duct 5 feet to one side, box the dryer duct in, stucco, brick, whatever-the-choice-is it up and over (to make it weather resistant like the house and to match the house), then install a new dryer exhaust cap on the end of the extension such that it faces away from the a/c condenser unit.

Now, it is 5 feet away, and blowing even further away.
