This might be a stupid question, but are there any issues with the air being blown out of an AC compressor coming into the home? We have an AC compressor right below a window that is frequently open and I was just curious.

You are putting hot air into the house you ate trying to cool.

why would you have a window open when a/c is running?

The only issue is as stated before you are blowing heated air into a house that you are trying to cool.
Thanks....the window in question is a kitchen window we "crack open" while cooking and the ac compressor is right below it.Quote:

It’s nothing just an air coming out from condenser coil. If I would have problem in Air condition I always get it repaired by securecomfort
so the hot air will offset the cooling and will heat up your place gradually. Funny thing is i did once see someone stick a small condenser in their living room blowing out through a window. i wonder where the unit gets the makeup air from..lol
Is your condenser vertical discharge type? if so you might want to put a diverting cowl on top of it to change the discharge direction?Quote:
