Q: QuestionWhat about installation. How is it installed? Do I need to drill holes to secure the A/C is secure? Do I just need to pull out the Pleated screen to cover the open spaces? Thank you

Asked 8 years ago by Brian.

• A:Answer The air conditioner is not heavy. We secured it by placing a couple of supports that hold the upper window secure against the top of the air conditioner unit. This held the unit in place firmly. No drilling was required. There are holes for drilling, but we did not feel they were needed. Foam and expanding side panels helped to cover the openings. We were satisfied with the units in terms of ease of installation.

Q: QuestionHi... I've noticed in some of your response to you state the window opening should be 23". I'm not understanding why so large if the unit is only 16"? Asking because I have older push out slim windows with maybe 19" wide. Will this work?

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hey there! Thank you for your inquiry. In researching, we were able to see the recommended window dimensions are listed as follows: Height minimum 13" and Width minimum/maximum 23" / 36". The recommended window dimensions would be different from the dimensions of the air conditioner, because the adjustable sides have to be factored in. However, based on the width provided it may not fit. Hope this helps! -Thanks!-
