Are they running those data cables with the high voltage power to the condensing unit?

I believe it was an EMI. I was up there working on an RTU.

If its like most minis the line voltage feeds the CU, and it feeds power and a control wire to the AH. Most don't have a "data" cable or low voltage control cables. Originally Posted by danbb

Ah, that makes sense, I though they had pulled the coax cables from the satellite through the sealtite and through the condensing unit's disconnect to get it into the building Originally Posted by Pete838

Per NEC, no more than 6' of flex to a motor. I'd call a condensing unit a motor... Conduit is cheaper too.

CONSERVATION - turning your thermostat back and being uncomfortable. Maybe saving 5-10%
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - leaving your thermostat where everyone is comfortable. Saving 30-70%
DO THE NUMBERS! Step on a HOMESCALE.
What is comfort? Well, it AIN'T just TEMPERATURE!
Energy Obese? An audit is the next step - go to BPI.org, or RESNET, and find an auditor near you.

I've seen many RTU's with protected thermostat wire running across the roof. After 2-3 years the sun dry-rots the insulation and results in a service call next time it rains.
