I wonder if it would be efficient if a split AC's outdoor unit is installed 8 feet underground in a well with ventilation will be any efficient due to the constant temperature underground all year round?

Are you heating the internal space or cooling? – Solar Mike Jan 16 '18 at 09:56

google "heat pump system" – PlasmaHH Jan 16 '18 at 10:11

Well? Even if it is dry at the moment. Is this unit waterproof? – RoyC Jan 16 '18 at 10:15

no, the unit is not water proof, but should I worry if its just 8 feet underground with enough ventilation? – Sohail Jan 16 '18 at 11:37

@SolarMike I am cooling the internal space – Sohail Jan 16 '18 at 11:38

So google "heat pump system" as suggested and also look at using a water pipe under-ground to be part of the heat exchanger. – Solar Mike Jan 16 '18 at 11:53

In my opinion that's an interesting sollution. And it should work better.
The problem I see is if your AC unit is strong enough. I mean that you should check the strength of air flow from the AC to the compressor.
However if you are only talking about efficency ONLY than it should work better.
In the diagram you can't see but ambient temperature for outside tubes is also important and it affects the system, however as I told previously, the problem is the airflow strength and the 16 feet distance.
