Thank you so much! This is all i can pay you for your help! Without your video i would have never been able to get my AC into the window! Thank youtube for the Super Thanks , at least i can pay you a few bucks for your effort to make this great video!!!
As a single lady living on my own and doing everything on my own for the first time in my life, stuff like this is so intimidating and overwhelming. I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing half the time. This video was SO helpful! Thank you so much! My window unit is getting delivered today and I feel so much more comfortable and confident after watching this 😊😊😊
TIP: I've left this tip on other sites and it seems to be helpful. immediately after unboxing, and before installing the other parts, plug it in and let it run for 5 or 10 minutes to make sure it actually works. This way if you have to take it back to the store, you don't have a lot of pieces to take back off and repack. I learned this the hard way.
I dont usually review shit but I’m hella baked and my AC just came on a hot ass day. The drop from the window is atleast 20 feet and I was so nervous I was bouta either kill someone or waste my money by it falling to the cement. This video made it so simple. You deserve this like my guy💯💯💯
The attention to details I had never thought of was excellent. I am installing a unit tomorrow and that slight downhill tilt for moisture fall away was something that had not x my mind. You can tell this is my first install. The accent was also charming.
Good job for those that feel intimidated over installing their own air conditioner now the hot weather has hit. Heres a tip , when you see air conditioners on sale when its cold , grab one because stores sell out once heat waves hit.
@@furiosa1203 oh ya used , mostly like new on secondary market. Private sale is the way to go. Bought my first one for 50$ when i bought my first home. I was 22. It still works beauty. Lol. Dont build em like the old days
I just watched the Home Depot one before this, left a nasty ass comment for them. Fortune 500 company didn't know the correct outlet to put a cord into. Thank you for this. Actually helped with my first installation, which a video should be doing ,HOME DEPOT
Recently moved apartments but still am the neighbor to some of my relatives we use to live 7 but now its 4 & 4 since they had a kid. Anyways this video helped us install 2 A.C's today appreciate it
Very good video! I have an old GE that needs replacing. It is in a casement window- must have been installed by a carpenter as it has beautiful matching woodwork surrounds, and fits in the bottom half of the window (the top window must have been custom made-it is only 1/2 window). The A/C has a medal frame around it, which the front of the unit clicks into, and I am hoping to be able to keep the woodworking in place when we have a new A/C installed. The metal framework that your A/C is anchored into with screws helped me understand how an A/C fits the window- thank you!!
@@colbybarbour9990 I had an AC fall 1 foot away from me walking into my building.would had being killed if I was 1 sec behind in time :0.felled from the 27th floor
This was an awesome video. It explained so much to me about how to install a window unit that the written instructions don't clearly explain. I should be able to install one with no problem other than needing a bit of help with the weight of the unit. Thank you!
Our home ac quit working this past week and I’ve been trying to find ways of cooling without purchasing a new unit. I sure don’t have $10k hanging around. Someone suggested getting a window unit. Than you for your explanation and how to. Very helpful.
Great tip on leveling at 5:25 to allow water to go outside of the house. As first time, we will need to replace an old / dirty AC unit at my kid's apartment this weekend. She does not want to spend money at least a hundred $ so have me do it. Hope it will be an easy swap but never know.
Like the other posters, gee thanks for explaining this in simple terms that even my wife could understand. If you tell her that I'll just have to say you lie a lot. I'm looking at adding a window unit to the far side of the house to see if it'll help with the central Air Conditioner. The heat wave we are experiencing is brutal here in South Texas, and I mean brutal. Great video with the best instructions so far...
Awesome tutorial! About to install this coming Thursday and just hopes the unit I'm buying comes with all the equipments you used to seal the unit. Thanks much!
I never leave reviews,,,, but you helped with the damn according slides on the sides . If ya don't know what your doing now days you can always find help. Thanks very much for your help .... Here in Okla June heat will get ya
That was a helpful video, especially the part about using the wood spacer. It's something many people wouldn't have thought of - even if it was mentioned in the installation instructions (Ha!).
That was so simple and straightforward. I think I can do that on my own without having to call around 4 help. Can you mention what type of air conditioner that is and what amount you pay for it? My central air unit went out and I'm not financially prepared to put in a new one so I think this will be a nice idea upstairs. Thank you for your video
Thanks just got one and was having hard time. Might need a screwdriver gun compared to hands on one. And this is so much easier than following the box constructions.
GE is a good, affordable brand. I've had my little unit in my bedroom going on 4 summers now and it's still as quiet as it was new and even in this high, humid heat, my 10x10 room is cool and comfortable. And I've never even cleaned the filter yet. Will do soon.
Mine is a 8K unit and a 5K would do well for my room, but my AC back is sticking out in a hot, enclosed & sunny front porch. So I need the extra btu's. I guess a 5K would work, but I got the 8K to be sure.
@@broganchapman975 just like it says on the box....good for a 10 x 10 foot room. Not even close to being good enough for the whole house....unless it's a studio apartment that is like 120 square feet lol
Thank you very much I knew I wasn’t wrong trying to get the arms to close the bottom part under the air conditioner had to be adjusted and put outside the window in inside the window frame
This is really helpful! Thank you so much. I do have a question: Instructions say not to use an extension cord and the cord to my unit is not long enough. Can I not use a heavy duty extension cord to run this at least till I can get an electrician?
Wow thx so much my a/c came in a box with no instructions you made it so easy! The only problem I have is should I use the longer or the shorter screws on the bar across the top of the unit? I’m gonna go with shorter first because I don’t own a drill!
This video got rid of any anxiety I had about installing these. By the way you sound very German. My tutor always pronounced his "w"s and "r"s like you do.
thank you for this video! i have the same AC and im not sure why but, the air doesn’t get colder. I’ve been trying to fix it but the air stays the same, is there any way I may fix it?
Excellent video, clear, concise and very instructive. Please explain, how to do it in a new wall without a window, just the space for the air conditioner.
