Some Facts about window air conditoners

Some things you may not have known about window air conditioners....

• Capacity of a typical window air conditioner is usually ranges from about 4000 btu/h (1/3 ton) to 24,000 btu/h (2 tons).

• These window and wall units are made for easy installation and service.

• The most common refrigerant used in window air conditioners is R-22.

• Larger units the compressor is usually in the back of the unit making it so the unit has a tendency to fall out of the window so at least half of the unit should be extended into the room. (MANUFACTURES USUALLY PROVIDE A BRACE KIT TO FIX THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM).
  

• Keep your window air conditioner clean by keeping the coils and air filters clean.
