AC compressor mounted on bracket?

Ryan Homes is building a bunch of homes nearby. The basement walls are poured concrete and the AC compressor is supported by a hefty bracket bolted to the wall - a foot or so above grade. Why are they doing this instead of putting the compressor on the ground? It seems to me that a lot of noise gets coupled into the house when it's done this way, plus cost of bracket and mounting labor. What am I missing? Hi, I see quite a few installed like that in my neighborhood specially where yard is sloping. Off the ground, less chance of bugs getting inside? I am sure they are mounted with rubber bumpers to minimize noise. Ours is on the ground level with a soft concrete pad came with the unit. It is low noise unit, hardly any noise or vibration. |

What's a "soft concrete pad"?? |

I am not sure whether it was supplied by Carrier or the installer. |
