How to install a window AC unit. In this video I show you how to install a window air conditioning unit in a side to side horizontal sliding window step by step. This window A/C install is also a little special because we are renting and the landlord doesn't want us drilling any holes or putting in screws. While I install the air conditioner in our vinyl window, I also go over many commonly asked questions regarding these window units and how they are supposed to be installed. Here are amazon links for the products I mentioned while doing the installation:

Thanks, great video! I have been in my apartment for 8+ yrs and never bothered with AC as I'm at the cottage a lot I don't need AC too often. This yr it's hot in May already, so I grabbed an old unit from my folks' basement. I put it in the back door window and it fit almost perfectly instantly! Just a few little gaps so I duct taped them (can get the foam later if needed). I do need to use an extension cord tho....

@@WordofAdviceTV Thank you so much. If replacing the fan motor succeeds, I will owe you a debt of gratitude for your instructions. If not, then it's the compressor, which I recall you advise on video that I not try to replace myself. In that case, I'll be sleeping on the floor of the cats' room (I have 2 cats), because I can only afford one window unit, and their sweet souls are the most important. Either way, I appreciate you very much, because if it wasn't for your videos, I would not have had the courage to try the repair myself. That's a huge deal to me. After all that, I'll be watching your refrigerator videos. My bottom freezer doesn't freeze, and the fridge part doesn't get cold enough. I tell you, it just never ends! Hope you are thoroughly enjoying Hawaii. I've never been there. It looks amazing! Good health and happiness to you!

I was hoping to see this installed in a way that is still secure and would be as safe as possible from burglars, but this seems very insecure, they could just push the unit inside. Was a good video though, thank you.

If you don't mind screwing in a piece of plywood instead of the plexiglass, that would be a lot more secure.

Would love to see a video by you on how to clean the A-coil aka air conditioner evaporator coil and/or what to expect if you hire someone to do it. Seems like it's something that needs to be done, especially if you've been using fiberglass furnace filters, and it isn't included in standard HVAC clean and checks. And who to hire to do it? An HVAC company or duct cleaning company?

Interesting video and it's giving me some ideas. I'm in the process now of installing a 6,000 BTU window a/c in a 12th floor window; no access to the outside once the plywood or plexiglass is installed. Not sure what I'm going to use yet.

@phreshxmetal Месяц назад

Great video. Question: if you are on a higher floor, how do you install a bracket on the outside? Or is it possible/advisable to use an interior bracket?

@WordofAdviceTV Год назад

Thank you! Most window brackets are fairly easy to install and can be installed from inside the house, no need to do anything outside. I would suggest simply picking out a bracket you like on Amazon and then take some time to read through the reviews. There is bound to be people who installed it on a higher floor that share their experience.

The "self evap" is for attaining the highest seer rating. Inverter in a window unit is nice. most every 8000btu window unit is 700-750 watts 11-12eer, can you measure it on highest temp spread vs lowest and tell me you wattage draw? Thanks.

@AQ40V Год назад

Can you do a review of this unit and measure its sound DB. Also check how well it removes humidity. I noticed my midea inverter unit does not remove humidity as well as the traditional units. Eco mode doesn't turn off the fan so it blows the humidity right back into the room once the set temperature is reached

That is an interesting suggestion. I don't have a decibel tester but perhaps it's time I get one. Thank you for the video idea, I'll see what I can do! 👌👍

The security of this install seems suspect. Ripping that plexiglass sheet out looks too easy.

In the house we live in, this would be the hardest window to get in through. 😅 Luckily we live in a peaceful neighborhood so security isn't a big concern.

@WordofAdviceTV I live in a peaceful neighborhood, too, but burglars drive cars. Burglars typically target "peaceful" neighborhoods. Anyway, I think I'm going portable AC. The window for the room I want to cool is on the front of my house on the second floor. I don't want to drill holes in the stucco and install a shelf for something I really only need for 2 months out of the year. The plexi glass would not have been a problem for the second floor, but the shelf was really the deal-breaker for me. Best of luck.

That's a verticle sliding or hung window

So then what do you do about thta entire space in the window ABOVE the air conditioner, it's the reason I'm looking at this, you fussy fussy about every other detail, ignore the main one.

What do you mean? I put a piece of plexiglass in that space and it's been working great for us. Did you not watch the whole video? Recently did the same exact thing for my parent's rental house too.
