A ground stand is a mounting accessory used to elevate the outdoor condenser above the dirt, snow, or water. You can find sturdy options in our Ground Stand collection. Elevating the unit protects it from rust and ensures proper airflow around the coils. This is especially important in regions that experience heavy snowfall. Using a stand from the Accessories section also helps reduce vibration noise transmitted to the house. It provides a level, stable surface for the heavy condensing unit.
