Hi,
Had a new A/C installed. Typical system with the evaporator in the furnace, and the Condenser outside.
Couldn't get a really good answer from installer.
a. Live in New England; lots of snow in winter. Do folks usually put a cover of some sort over the outside Condenser in the winter ?
b. He mentioned that there is a small heater in the unit that is on all the time; even if the unit is not actually running
Does it make any sense to shut off the 220 V power in the winter to the outside Condenser, thus killing the heater ?
Or, best to have the heater always on, even in the winter time ?
Thanks, Bob
