It has an automatic drain and everything is plumbed underground to the garage.

You can hardly hear it when sitting on the deck outside.

Isn't condensation a problem in the winter?

I haven't had any moisture issues in the winter. In addition to the timed mechanical drain, I installed an inline auto drain directly on the outlet to the underground 3/4" line to the garage. Also, using synthetic oil like many others here.
