This will dry your evaporator coils all right, but it will also increase the
humidity inside the house by as much as 10% as well as increase your energy
usage. The evaporator coils that produce water condensation are inside the
house, and are designed to both withstand and shed water, so water on them is
not an issue. What we're talking about here are the condenser coils in the
*outside* unit, which despite the name do not form water condensation, they
condense the refrigerant in the lines back to a liquid which then makes the
coils hot. The only water on the condenser coils comes in externally;
rain/snow, sprinklers, etc.

So from a water perspective, the inside evaporator condenses water and the
outside condenser evaporates it.
