Abstract
Abstract An air conditioner condenser support member which is used in multiple units to form an insulated condenser base in lieu of a concrete base. The condenser support comprises an elongated rigid tubular member having an open lower end and a closed upper end. An outwardly extended flange is secured to the tubular member for engaging the ground and limiting the movement of the tubular member into the ground when the open end of the tubular member is inserted into the ground. The tubular member is provided with a resilient pad on the upper closed end thereof for insulation, noise reduction and vibration-dampening function. In use, at least four of the condenser supports are inserted into the ground, in a substantially rectangular disposition to form a mounting pad for an air conditioner condenser unit.
