Air Conditioners Tips

Installation

The unit is rather heavy, around 50 lbs. I highly recommend that two people install the unit. We had a few difficulties with the installation because we do not have simple double hung windows; like many older apartment building in New York, there is a elevated ‘lip’ so the unit is not resting directly on the window sill . The placement of the unit on the elevated lip was a little precarious at first, but we were able to stabilize the back end of the unit (the portion that rest outdoor)s by propping it up with some wooden blocks. The sliding panels are a little flimsy but seems to do the job. The installation guide is simple enough to follow, but the photographs provided are a little difficult to decipher. No special tools besides a Phillips screw driver was needed, however please note that if you need to drill pilot holes, you will require the use of an electric drill.
