Moving The Noisy A/C

This post is long overdue because it’s been a couple of years now since we completed this project. Moving the noisy air conditioner condenser had been something we wanted to do since moving in back in 2013. The noisy unit, located right outside the back sliding door and next to the patio, made it impossible to entertain or carry on a conversation with guests. Often on summer evenings, Sara and I would find ourselves shouting back and forth in our adirondack chairs until one of us got around to turning off the A/C.

Out with the old and in with the new!

The installers made a difficult job look easy!

We moved the air conditioner from the west side of the property to the south side (an area out of sight and where noise would not be an issue).

The installers ran the piping/wires through our shed, which is beneath the 4-season porch. We appreciated the extra attention to detail they took to make sure the pipes would not get in the way of any future storage needs.

The air conditioner with another pandemic project – the fence!

With the condenser unit out of the way, all I needed to do was add a few more pavers from an earlier project and we could finally enjoy our backyard the way we always wanted.

Winnie wondering why I am in her yard 🙂
One final update: A few months after this project, the gazebo gifted to us by Sara’s parents came crashing down in a heavy snow that caught us unprepared. The gazebo is long gone, but the A/C will be around for years to come!

Thanks for reading!
