When planting flowers, or other types of plants around your outdoor HVAC unit, you'll want to keep them at least 4 feet away from the system. As you can see in the image to the left, the plants are a little close for our liking.Your HVAC unit takes in air from the sides of the machine. If plants start to block that incoming air from coming in fully, your system has to work harder than normal. If you put too much stress on the unit, issues can begin to creep up.
Keep your HVAC unit working as long as it possibly can. Obey the 4-foot rule and, if you have to plant anything, make it a shrub or another type of plant that won't grow into the vicinity of the system. And if you have any questions or concerns about planting near your HVAC unit, give Green Zone Heating and Cooling a call at (717) 277-8348.
