RE: Homebase Split Aircon Fitting

[Keith Doxey <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The hoses are only about 8 feet long.

The external unit needs to be mounted on a flat surface to give clearance
for the incoming airflow for the heat exchanger.

I drilled a series of holes side by side to create a slot about 100x40mm.
Just need to fill the gap tonight and it is finished.

Possibly dumb questions but still:

1) Can the outdoor unit be fitted behind a tree with *very* little
clearance or s mething? The unit is for the front bedroom and I don't
really want it "displayed" on the front of the house. Sky
MiniDish is
just above a conifer on the same wall s  is not too noticeable so I
was thinking of dropping the aircon external unit underneath the dish
therefore behind the tree.

2) If I fitted the unit t  the outside of the house, what is the
position with the neighbours? One of the alternatives t  placing the
external unit on the front of the house is t  place it on the side
but this would overhang the neighbour's drive. The road I live on is
basically all detached houses, but the detachment is the drives, i.e.:

HDHDHD

where H = House, D = Drive

Their driveway gate was attached to my house without my permission
but it obviously stays on their side of the property line. I am sure
they would be OK with me fitting the unit there (assuming it doesn't
rain on them all the time) but wondered for the future if the
neighbours changed or I moved away and the unit was left there, what
the position would be.

3) What is the best way for creating the hole for the connecting
pipe. I have seen 8cm mentioned as the required sizewhich I assume to
be diameter (I would have only recently completed decoring that
room!) and other than hiring a cutting bit and possibly a drill am
not sure of the best way to ruin the wall.

Thanks,

Mark.
