Abstract: A base member includes a substantially horizontal main body that supports one or more components of a heating and cooling unit. The main body includes a conditioned space portion about a first side of the main body and a non-conditional space portion about a second side of the main body. A substantially vertical separation wall extends up from the main body and separates the conditioned space portion from the non-conditioned space portion. A lip is formed at least partially about the non-conditioned space portion. At least one drainage hole extends through the non-conditioned space portion. A surface of the non-conditioned space portion is sloped towards the at least one drainage hole. A drain pan is disposed about the conditioned space portion. At least one drainage tube is in fluid communication with the drain pan. A surface of the drain pan is sloped towards the at least one drainage tube.
