AC condenser unit - cooling down the area with water spray
Our AC condenser is located next to our concrete patio slab on the SE side of our home. Just behind it is the stucco walls of the house. Both the slab and walls get very hot on these 90F+ sunny days in our dry climate here in So Calif.
I've been spraying down the slab and walls that are within 10 feet of the AC unit, maybe putting down 5-10 gallons at a time and nearly all of it will evaporate within 2 minutes. I do this 2 or 3 times during the hottest parts of the day hoping that it will provide cooler air to the unit.
Is this making any substantial difference in the total power needed to run my AC?
