Great job! I have been watching video after video on the best way to install a unit in this type of window and I have finally found a winner. You made it seem simple. Painting the wood was a plus. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
When it looks easy, That's how you know he's good at what he does. when I saw him wearing his sandals, I was like, oh, he could do this in his sleep😂. This man, and he did make it look so easy, right? I have the same type of window, I feel u will not have such ease, but you did make it so easy to follow❤great work!
Just what I needed 👍 Started working nights recently and our bedroom gets hot during the day. Need a window AC to keep my cave nice and cool for summer 😎
Wow, Beautiful job! This is the Best I’ve seen! I sure hope I find someone who puts that much time and care into it. To even build the frame, measure perfectly, level perfectly, seal everything perfectly AND paint the wood so it matches! Boy oh boy someone sure is lucky and to have such a wonderful craftsman, Wow.😊
I was stressing about installing the one I ordered. When I saw your idea about the frame, I immediately calmed down. I live on the third floor of my building so I really don't want to drop that. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you... I see these units at Walmart pretty inexpensive but not for side opening windows. My electric bills during these summer months are killing me... this’ll help! If I can have the master bedroom/bathroom cool, I can deal with that. Thanks again!

Wow I am so grateful for this demo of your ac installation. Basically you answered all my questions including the fact that there is no electric outlet near my window so I was wondering if could I plug it in the extension cords. Thanks
Looks well done, I'm going to need to do something like this to have to get an AC unit first but only thing I would do different is get thick plexiglass cut to correct measurements using that rather then plywood although plywood would keep sun out so have to decide on that, the other thing is rather then building frame I would just use flat thick bar to go across the top bracket of ac unit from side to side of interior window frame to other side of window framing to lock in place so ac doesn't fall out, did this few years ago for relative installed two ac units works well then when summer is over just remove bar & wood or plexiglass for winter time thanks for the post sir👍
The frame makes total sense! I have a block home though. Do I have to drill into my block? I also want to use plexiglass, so no one can tell from the street.
Why not use plexiglass? It would give more light then a wood. Thanks great video. Also, how would that wood will last the time of the element? Probably compress wood would be better? I get you will do according on what you are getting paid.
Heyyy g I had a question would you still be able to take out the Frame without hurting the existing window because I’m renting rn and I wanna do this but I don’t wanna break or put holes in the actual window or the windows frame if that makes sense
Did the air con housing come with that top brace or did you put it on? My last air con was installed similar to yours 20yrs ago still solid as a rock. We have security screens so the guy used metal instead of wood to secure it. I live in tropics Australia. Think timber would rot here. Wish we could put photos on here. 😢 I'm due for a new air con. Have to find an installer that can think outside the box. Not strong enough to do it myself.
Yes we can see the many important issues 'we' wont forget when we close up our window making sure to measure to 1/8" and to use insulation foam strips at all sides. and perhaps insulate the wood and paint it a lighter cooler color.
Is it possible to not drill into the window frame or are the angle brackets just going into the 2x2? With a new window, don't really want to drill into the frame...
oh jeeps i got one one of those big sliders windows, south africans typicals are aluminum so the windows here are different, is there a way to make it fit with the top or bottom lip?, i dont think i can even fit one in
@@mrnoe67tiktok One other thing I’ve ran into that I’m not sure how to figure out. My windows are a really old single-pane type. Much too thin to bed the wood frame in. The sliding rail, and the metal exterior to the house are also the same height, so a wooden frame is likely to fall right out the window.
@@mrnoe67tiktok One idea I had would be to build a frame around the AC unit itself, and use a drill-less support for the unit. Though I hadn't figured out how I'm going to secure the plywood fill to the window frame. Swapping out the plywood for more flexible plexiglass will probably be the simpler solution. Fill the gaps with silicone caulk, and it should hopefully stay in place. This bedroom being a 10 x 10 pretty much prevents a portable unit from being an option (barely enough room for just my stuff alone). And this is a rental unit, so trying to avoid drilling holes as well.
I wish you are my brother and help me out with window air conditioning. My cats are smart like human they open my window if not blocked break the net fence to get out and open draws to find food and all of my clothes are on the floor.
Hi. Great video, thanks. I just purchased a new window unit 3 weeks ago. It is already emitting an acetone-like smell. I read online last night that this may be because it was installed wrong. Do you think I could reinstall it and make the smell go away or should I just return it? Thank you.
Okay just built one of my own man, thanks I really appreciate it. It’s holding up good but one question. Is your wood on the inside of your window sill right there or just over it?
Too much futzing around having to build a frame and stick a piece of plywood to fill the gap. For all that, I would have used a sheet of plexiglass to let in light.
Why hasn't the multimillion dollar window ac companies not considered that some people don't have windows that go up and down? Daaarrfff 🤯 even our "portable" ac is built for an up and down slider only. Come on geniuses think outside the "box" literally!
Umm...that's because those sliding windows are designed to allow fire fighters to enter (with their equipment on) and assist in the event of a disaster. That's why those windows are on bedrooms....
Great video. How did you screw the bottom of the a/c? Did you drill through the existing metal ledge piece and use screws that were long enough to attach to the wood frame? Thanks!

You need to measure it.

How do you get it to tilt if it's sitting in a wood frame?
You can do it

yes
No need for a support bracket? Also, thanks for this video!
