 WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION TIPS

Before Purchase/Installation
  

ü      Calculate the size of room to be cooled, so that you buy an a/c with enough capacity

 Installation Guidelines

ü      Objects utilized to adjust the position (for example, shims) of the A/C unit must have an independent source of fastening or attachment.

ü      Secure leveling objects in order to prevent movement and shifting due to vibration from the A/C unit and wind and weather conditions.

ü      Install the A/C so that it remains in place when the window is opened and or affix it so that the window cannot be opened accidentally.
