Keep the area around the condenser clean and clear of plants, weeds etc. Good luck!

Hey Bob....
Thanks heaps for the advice!
Good observation about the insulation - way overdue for replacement!
I will add to my punch list for sure.
I do try to keep up with maintenance on the condenser - mostly rinsing off with fresh water every few weeks. This coastal location I'm in can be hard on metal components!
Thanks again - cheers!

James - congrats on your new system and thanks for all the photos and technical info!
I've always felt air conditioning (when working properly) is the eighth wonder of the world!
