We had condensation on the outside of the a/c unit that dripped down the unit for a number of years particularly during the hot humid summer months onto the wood platform causing the paint to peel and very slightly deforming it. The problem was solved by "air conditioning " the closet in the garage where the a/c and water heater were located. In our house that closet door is tightly sealed. Our a/c maintenance company came up with the solution and I've not seen condensation on the outside of the unit since. Fortunately the structural integrity of the platform was not effected although it ultimately would have been.
