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!
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!
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 😎
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!
@@mrnoe67tiktok Looking around your channel this AM... I love information shared such as this. Anytime I can do something myself there is not only the money savings but that sense of pride. Our hands were meant to be occupied... thanks again! *subscribed*
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
Purchased for my RV best investment this year, noise level not bad it's in my bedroom window, my mounted tv is above it I have no problem enjoying a movie while it is on.
Helpful and straightforward video. Much appreciated. That said, please consider muting or heavily reducing volume of saw when in use as the volume differential is quite drastic and the sound itself is quite jarring.
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👍
Hi Noe, i just shared and subscribed great to the point video. Thank you we are about to build a frame for a window ac unit but using plexiglass framed in and window screen sheet so we can swing out the plexi window on occasion or slide out.. not sure which one yet.
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.
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!
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
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.
I GOT A SERIOUS QUESTIONS I WAS GIVEN AN WINDOW A/C UNIT I WAS WONDERING DO TO THE HOW WIDE IT IS IT'S "WIDTH" LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE WINDOW BEING ONE JUST LIKE IN THIS VIDEO THAT OPEN "VERTICALLY" RIGHT & LIGHT COULD THESE A/C UNITS BE INSTALL ON IT'S SIDE LIKE ( LEFT TO RIGHT ) AND LEFT BEING DOWN & RIGHT BEING UP ON IT'S SIDE WOULD IT STILL WORK OR IS IT LIKE REFRIGERATOR THEY NEED TO BE STANDING ONLY UP & DOWN CAUSE IF YOU LAY IT ON IT'S SIDE AND PLUG IT IN RIGHT AFTER IF THE GAS / FREON IS NOT SETTLE BACK DOWN THEY CAN HAVE PROBLEMS AND NOT WORK AFTER ?? LONG QUESTION HOPE IT MAKES SENSE APPRECIATE IF I COULD GET AN ANSWER BACK THANKS ✌🏼OUT AND STAY KOOL

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
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...
I would like to modify this idea for installing a window a/c into a sliding glass patio door instead (remove a/c for winter). Anyone down this with good success?
How much tilt should it have? Installed mine and it was leaking don’t think I tilted it enough I put it at a 6 degree angle? Is that fine or should I make it less?
@@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.
Sorry to be the contrarian. For what appears to be a longterm installation, I would have removed the sliding window pane, and used plexiglass to fill to openings.

Yes you should drill into your block. And of course you can use plexiglass
Thanks for posting!
How would you adjust this for Medea U-Shaped ACs?
Well, no need to build a frame for the A/C. You can still build a frame for the Plywood or plexi glass.
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!
The screws came with the a/c. I didn't screw through the metal, The screws had to be at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches long.. thanks for the visit

Now can you remove that wood frame once it becomes winter and you want to shut the window?
Yes, just remove the silicone the best you can.
Did you screw the wood sides into the window frame? The vertical ones? My windows are vinyl. I wouldn't want to screw thru it.
No, I did not. 100% silicone is a real strong adhesive
Great job Mr. Noe, I am in the same situation with a siding glass window my question is what size wood was use for the frame? Thank You
I think mine was 3/4 but what ever your inside frame is use that size
You need to measure it.
Wish you had more detail, for gals on their own.
Thanks, on my next install I will.
Right! I dont have all those tools!
Me too. I need more detail and info lol . We can do it !!!

What keeps it from being kicked in..iam a woman on 1st floor apt near the sidewalk..any ideas
Double the plywood extra screws

How hard is it to remove with that silicone adhesive when winter comes?
Well they are not planning to remove the A/C every season. But if you wanted to just a little elbow grease should do it.
that bottom bracket could have gone in the window line instead of the wood, and you could have used Plexi to allow more light.
Thank you. Yes this is just one way of doing it.
Very good video
Thanks
Do you glue the wood to the window?
with silicone
Thank you. Learned some new information

What can we do when we want to air out the room and you only have 1 window

How much tilt should it have? Installed mine and it was leaking don’t think I tilted it enough I put it at a 6 degree angle? Is that fine or should I make it less?
Just a slight tilt less than a 1/2 inch
