A meticulous air conditioner installation under a deck in Bloomfield Hills — completed after 80 years of knowing exactly what confined space installations require.
Why airflow clearance is evaluated before every confined space installation:
• Outdoor condenser units discharge heated air upward from the top — without adequate clearance that exhaust recirculates back into the unit instead of dissipating
• Recirculated exhaust raises inlet air temperature on every cycle — forcing the compressor to work harder and run hotter than designed
• Elevated operating temperatures accelerate compressor wear and shorten equipment life in direct proportion to the severity of airflow restriction
The Matheson standard:
• Clearance evaluated on all sides and above before equipment placement is determined
• Manufacturer minimums treated as a floor not a target
• Every confined installation verified before a single connection is made
