Lot of times when I am doing an inspection I find a lot of of air-conditioner condensers often clogged. Condensers often are clogged with lint from a close dryer discharging nearby. The high temperature air from a dryer or a sidewall vented gas water heater can reduce cooling efficiency. The water heater exhaust may also corrode the coil.
The lint will clog the fins and the warm air from the dryer or water heater makes it hard to dump the heat outdoors. The fins may be corroded by the acidic water heater exhaust.
Dryer and water heater vents should be about 6 feet from the condenser. The exact distance varies with condenser configurations, elevation differences, etc. Look for lint on the coil. Recommend moving the vent if it's too close to the condenser.
Just a few things to look for when you are inspecting the exterior of your home.
Happy rehabbing!!
