Ductless A/C

9 years ago

I will be installing a ductless A/C system shortly. The outdoor unit (weight 138 lbs.) will be mounted on a very low-slope shed roof attached to the back of my house. Looking for recommendations as to the best method for installing and leveling on the roof, as well as best method for isolating the roof from vibration. Thanks

Best advice I can offer is have ac installer tell roofer footprint and weight so roofer can install support. Roof leaks are much easier to prevent than fix. As far as viberation,make the support rigid to roof and if unit viberates,ac tech can put insulators between unit and support.
