Can I install a window AC unit myself?
Window air conditioners typically weigh between 50 and 100 pounds, so maneuvering the appliance into the window and then holding it in place while it’s being secured with screws requires an assistant. Installing a window AC on your own is an easy way to injure yourself, or accidentally drop the unit out the window.
How hard is it to install a window AC unit?
Air conditioners are very heavy. Installing a window AC unit is a two person job. Carefully lift the air conditioner with a helper. Place it gently inside the open window.
Will my air conditioner fall out window?
It’s highly unlikely that your air conditioner will fall out of a window unless you make one of two mistakes: choosing a unit that doesn’t fit the window and failing to secure the unit in place. So before doing anything else, make sure that your window is appropriate for the AC you’ve chosen.
