Air Conditioner - Up/Down Window
Most window air conditioners are designed to fit double-hung windows, which have a sash you can raise or lower. Measure the inside dimensions of the installation window carefully to make sure you find a model that fits. Don't rely on estimates. Here are some other things to think about:
- Installing the air conditioner in a shaded window will help it operate more efficiently. A window facing north will be in shade most of the day
- The window you select for installation needs a suitable power outlet nearby. The manufacturer may specify that you plug the device directly into the outlet with no extension cord.
- The circuit the outlet is on must be able handle the electrical load of the air conditioner.
- Different models have different plug configurations. Make sure the air conditioner you select is compatible with your outlet. Check the product packaging for the plug design.
