A performance enhancement device is disclosed comprising a chimney that is secured to an upward-facing air exhaust of the condenser unit of an air conditioning system for directing the hot air discharged from the condenser away from the air conditioning system. A sun screened enclosure may also be utilized for at least partially surrounding the condenser unit and protecting it from solar radiation. When used in conjunction with the chimney, the chimney extends above the uppermost extent of the sun screened enclosure. One or more misting nozzles may be disposed within the sun screened enclosure for dispersing a water mist within the enclosure. The misting nozzles may be controlled individually, or in groups. The performance enhancement device may comprise a sensor for sensing the operating state of the air conditioning system and the ambient temperature proximate to the condensing unit and a controller for receiving the operating state and temperature information and, based on the information, activating one or more misting nozzles. An activation sequence may be employed in which the number of activated misting nozzles is based on the ambient temperature information.
