Ryan Homes is building a bunch of homes nearby. The basement

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?


Saves having to mix a batch of concrete? Can't lay the AC slab at the
same time the basement is poured since the soil has to first be replaced
around the basement walls and given time to settle.
