Mice Aren't Nice to Your Outside Air Conditioning Unit (Condenser)

Mice and other critters like to nest inside of your outdoor Air Conditioning unit (Condenser). Mice like condenser units because they offer dry and warm compartments that provide protection from wind, rain, snow and predators. However, mice aren't nice to your condenser unit. Why? Well, mice like to chew things - like wires! In the picture below you can see the nest (bottom of picture) our professional service technician removed from the condenser compartment that houses all the electrical AC components. This critter chewed away insulation from the 240V power source - causing the homeowner a relatively expensive repair - yet an avoidable one. Purchasing an annual maintenance plan will reduce the chances of mice, chipmunks and the like from becoming too comfortable housing in your AC unit. When you purchase an annual maintenance plan - you can count on your AC unit being opened, inspected and tested at least once a year.
