David Lelak, an Atlanta Georgia Home Inspector reveals different issues that are found in the process of doing home inspections. In this case he finds where the ac units have settled and need to be leveled. This is an issue that you will want to check around your own home periodically. When the builder grades and finishes the grading around a home, often times it is fill dirt instead of original ground and the fill dirt will tend to settle. Also if you have a wash area this can cause an area around the units to wash away and this will let the unit become unlevel. If the unit is not sitting level it can cause the bushings and bearings on the fan on the inside of your unit to wear out prematurely and need replacing quicker.

Looks good from where I come from but then we don't have A/C here in these parts. What where they thinking.
Up here in Ohio, you can see settled A/C units on nearly every house. I think it's because of the freeze'thaw cycle we go through that eventually shrinks or moves the ground.
All I know is I have to put that comment in nearly every report. "Raise, and/or level AC unit for proper operation, and maximum life expectancy".
