AC line on the outside
We recently had a contractor install an AC system, but we ran into an issue with how the refrigerant line was routed. Instead of bending the line to keep it inside the property and near the condenser’s final location, the contractor decided to run it in a straight line from the furnace, through the wall, and out the side of the house — far from where the outdoor condenser will actually be installed. So now the line is exposed on the exterior siding and looks pretty rough. https://imgur.com/a/26gWVJ7 We are open to any other ideas to make this thing look cleaner and more intentional. Any suggestion. For now, we asked the contractor to at least put a line cover on it, but he says he only uses white ones. Our siding is a darker color (think taupe/gray), so the white cover will stick out like a sore thumb. Our current thought is to go ahead with the white line cover and then spray paint it to match the siding. Has anyone done this before? Any tips on paint type/brand that holds up well outdoors on PVC/plastic? Or should we push harder to have the contractor find a cover that matches better out of the box? AlsoThanks in advance! submitted by /u/Correct-Move7580 [link] [comments]
