AC Unit in crawlspace
I have a very large crawlspace 50Lx28Wx6H with plenty of ventilation. Can I install the AC unit inside, or does it need to be outside? Any opinions?

Yes, the compressor. Why? Is it a heat problem...? The space is 6 feet high, and as large as the entire house. My excavator messed up the depth so I ended up with a basement sized crawlspace.

Thats kinda the reason I dont want it in the back yard... noise, not a ton of room. We are in Utah, so not much humidity in the hot months. It stays pretty cool under the house in the summer, so I actually assumed the compressor would work better there.
Thanks for your opinions... anyone else?

I don't think its even recommended to put them under a deck w/no sides.
The fan really moves a lot of air. Reduce air flow and you are cutting the efficiency. What are the manufacturers requirements? Will the installer and manufacturer honor any warranty with it installed there?
My opinion is you will really regret it.
