Restriction on height of wall mounting minisplit condensor

[GroundLoop]

Live in FL and installing two minisplits in large external garage / recroom. Going to wall mount the condernsors and wanted to mount them high (7 ft or so) off the ground due to lack of space. Searched the web and called city inspector and still cannot get an answer. Is there a height restriction on how high the condensors can be wall mounted? Can't see 7 ft being a problem to service. Is this a bad idea?

The only height restrictions I've ever seen are minimum height off the ground to account for flood zones and/or snow cover - never saw a maximum limitation, and I've seen a few in some pretty hairy situations.

7' off the ground is not a problem for service purposes.

Put it up high, less chance of damage or theft. Just make sure it is the proper distance from the building for air flow.

If the tubes run overhead (ceiling/attic) this may be of some advantage.
