Did you know that falling window air conditioners are actually a big problem for the many residents of New York? Window air conditioners are a cheap alternative to central air, but unless you understand exactly how to install one, they can present a huge risk for you and the innocent pedestrians strolling along the sidewalk below your window. Professional Queens window air conditioner installation is always a better choice, but if you insist on doing it yourself, you should be aware of the biggest issues that are likely to come up:
- Weight- Window air conditioners aren't dainty little units that will easily sit in your window without issue, they can be extremely heavy! Their weight is especially worrisome is you have vinyl replacement windows, because they can easily be warped or broken from the weight of your air conditioner.
- Size- It is important for your utility bill and for the safety of those walking under your window that you choose the right size of air conditioner for your window and for your home. Bigger isn't always better, and an over-sized air conditioner won't necessarily cool down a room faster than an appropriately sized one.
- Leveling- Many people make the mistake of tipping their air conditioner slightly to help with drainage, but the truth is that your air conditioner is built to drain properly when it is level. Doing this not only impedes proper drainage, but it can also make your air conditioner much more liable to fall out of your window.
