- With hot weather comes the desire to cool off. For those of you who don't have internal air, the window air conditioning unit is a good second option. This video will show you how to install one.

Love how 7 years after this video is still helping people, I’m a teen girl never put an ac in before but this helped me thank you
Same! I'm 24 and just moved in to a place without AC. wanted to make sure I lined it up right in the window lol
Are you single ?
8 now lol
@@israfil1534 bruh this is youtube, stop trying to date someone on here, this isn’t a dating site lmao.
@@ameliahoward9861 bruh.. Your a girl. Act like one
TIP: immediately after unboxing, and before installing the other parts, plug it in and let it run for 5 or 10 minutes to make sure it actually works. This way if you have to take it back to the store, you don't have a lot of pieces to take back off and repack. I learned this the hard way.
Quick Tip: Don't want to drill holes into any vinyl/wood? Buy some double-sided foam tape. I chose the 3M brand. It's has the green backing on it. Run that along the sides of the window where the flaps close. I left a little over hang on the inside so that after I close the sides I fold the tape backwards onto the plastic flaps to get a really good seal. I hope this helps!
videos like this are absolutely priceless for people who have never put in an AC unit by themselves, like me. or people out on their own and need to know how to do stuff.
The ac unit was so cold when he turned it on he said y’all stay cool this “winter”😂 this was a great video
i literally just dropped my ac out of my second floor window. fml
omg 😭😭💀
+britneymalik ♔ ♡ yup. I wish I could post pictures on here.the thing looks like it exploded lol
Sorry that happened, at least you don't live in an apartment building on like the 10th floor.
+Jim Kaskrin ya I'm retarded lol i lived in apartments all my life with central ac and never had to deal with window ac. I followed your video step my step and got the new one in no problem. Thanks for the video and concern
I live in NYC and that's my biggest fear because I would definitely kill someone walking below.
just wanted to let you know how helpful this video was. very well explained. i was extremely nervous about putting my window ac unit in alone, on the second floor. following this guide i was able to do it successfully. thanks a bunch!
You are a godsend! I just successfully installed a window unit in my 3rd-floor apartment and thank you for giving me the confidence to do it successfully without killing anyone outside :)
Did you use the lock thingy?

@@stichedlycanroc51 hi

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you sir 👍👍
Thanks very helpful. I just used both of your videos to set up and install my AC unit (by myself). It only took a couple of minutes all together. Great DIY video ❤
It's been a long time since I installed an AC unit - so glad I found this video! The part regarding the pane locker nuts was brilliant, as I didn't find the idea of drilling into my window pane appealing either.
Central AC in the house broke in the middle of Texas summer. I felt cooler when I saw your unit turn on. Im going to search for more air conditioning sounds.
Clover Joker mine Broke just now in July and it's 102 outside
Mine has been broken for a month and it's hot af
I'll record the sound of my AC unit running for you
who is sweating like hell and about to buy a window AC but watch how to videos first?
Idk
Me

This video is 10 years old, yet it is simple and very concise. Thank you sir
Wow! Honestly. This was a very insightful video for me! I’m a first time home owner, preparing to install a/c units of my mine! This was leaps and bounds better than the one Lowe’s offered even! Thankful particularly for the anatomy of the unit section!

Don’t know how you could eff up a video about sticking an a/c in a window, close it, secure window, and done but wth do I know.
To the point, helpful, explains the reasoning behind what to do, just an excellent how-to. Thanks for helping me install a window unit on my own for the first time!
Did you use electric screw driver ?
Thank you so much for your comments. You made my day!
By far the most helpful video I viewed this morning! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Great video. Very clear. I'd never even had a window unit air conditioner before and I was able to install a used one I picked up all by myself.
Thank you! This is literally the Only video I've found on RUclips that actually explains the details of how to do this!! Like how to line up the sliding things in the window. I'm going to also look for that extra metal piece.
Thank you for this video; very helpful I already installed my AC unit but I needed extra window support & I got it. First time I heard about the window clamps. Excellent tutorial
I love it....."there you go.." and "it's ok" helps the pain of a single woman doing this. Again, you rock!
Thank you for actually showing how to put it into the window. The last 4 videos didn't have that.
You rock! Window A/C For Dummies hero! Not only step by step, but your tone explains and assumes we may not enjoy all this in the first place! Thank you so much. Yours is the best for Window A/C.
Great video! I watched a few but this one was the best easy to follow and view. It gave me the confidence to do it myself instead of waiting for a male friend. It does require some upper body strength for a 12000 BTU but I'm not that old yet to worry (: even with a chronic bad back I was able to do and didn't throw out my back. I'm going to be looking at more of your vids. I second someone else,s statement that you are a godsend to the independent gals!
Just now stumbled upon this. This puts my mind to ease regarding setting ours up. Live in a two-story house with weak Central Air. Thank you so much.
Excellent. You just made me make up my mind to buy a window unit, I really found your instructions on the point, and without it, I would have had no idea how to install a window unit, thanks so much. Good work.
Thanks for putting this together. I’ve watched it the last two years before installing my AC to refresh myself.
Out of all the videos on the internet showing how to install a window unit this one by far is the best and easiest to understand. Thank you
-Some guy in the future
I love the video's idea of fixing your window in place. I put a piece of wood diagonally against the frame and the window and it works perfectly 😀
I grew up with central air and just bought my first home. Thank you so much. Me and my very fluffy, warm cat are grateful.
Does your cat pick at the sides? I'm worried mine will and escape?
@@naulasnook9506 no not at all. Although she's not much of a scratcher anyway. I would suggest nailing the sides in if you're worried.
@@Pamelalrene I was thinking it, I just cant screw the top due to being in an apartment so I'm pretty tempted to lay a big piece of duct tape on the sides! Lol thank you!
Thank you I'm a single women because of you I was able to install two AC. They look like it was installed professionally! Great video really simple and helpful.
Thank you! I have been installing the wrong way for two summers and taping plastic around the bottom to keep air/bugs out. I don't have a partner so I feel good installing by my self the right way!!
What a spectacular video! no nonsense, super easy to understand, very clear speaking. Loved it!
I love how quick and to the point this was. It's simple and helped so much.
Thanks for your video on installing an a/c. Found it very helpful, especially without a HELPER, which many of us dont have that advantage. Could you upload a video on installing one for a jalousie window? Thanks. Looking forward to your next video.
Very helpful video for a 16 year old boy who wants his ac in so bad and his dad wont be home for two hours to help him.
Collin Boerem Shit, you you got me....
15 but hey
Collin Boerem the portable room air conditioners work well. put a fan in front of it and the room is ice cold!
I laughed my ass off, when you dropped it out of the window
DUDE FUCKING SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been burning up so badly in my first apartment and it has been torture and quite discouraging to enjoy my place. I’ve been trying to get maintenance to get me a unit and they finally did! But they didn’t install it so here I go!
my god i was literally going insane thinking i was going to have to screw into the vinyl window on the top ones this saved me SO much stress and second guessing, thank you SO much
Thank you. This video was the most informational video !! Extremely appreciate every little detail on placement of AC unit
Easily explained to the point,, good teacher/instructor. Even all the fears go away💃💃💃
Thank you soo
Much! They guy who usually installs it for me is away and I’m dying upstairs! I knew nothing about how it stays in until you! Thanks.
You should consider putting supports on the rear of the unit outside the house. Especially if the window is old or flimsy.
I've been dreading installing one of these myself, but this is the last Memphis summer I'm going without A/C. The fact that you did this alone was a bonus, because that's the same boat I'm in.
very helpful. Thank you. I am a 50 year old woman. never got them in the window right. yes I am strong enough to lift a 5000 btu. And only being 98 lbs. hell yes. but I never was lining it up in the window sill correctly. Thank you. Now I know what I did wrong. You showed me the right way. 😁😁
Just watched your vid and installed my window AC unit. Thanks for posting. It helped a lot and I'm sure saved me some time from doing the trial and error method lol. *sitting down with the AC blasting as my reward...sighhh
I Googled and watched so many ac videos. This was the best one. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing; gave me the confidence to do an install without dropping the thing out of the window!
A very patient and thorough video! Thanks for this tutorial!
I just been puttin the unit in my windows for my entire life and that's it! Never lost one!
I really like the videos most. My simple unit went out and it will be next year before I can put another one in so this will save my neck. It would be upstairs over a porch. I hope to get a wider AC for that window. Nice video so simple
Thank you for reminding me where the base sits. Helpful and appreciated! 👍🏻
Thankyou for ypur great video, I bought my first AC and I learned to install it by watching your video ❤
Thanks for the video. It will make this summer in Texas much more livable.
Exactly what I needed to know, especially how to seat it in the window. Good explanation.
Great job and demo,sir!! You are precise and know your stuff!! Very informative and helpful video!!
man im on a second floor and was nervous as hell about doing this, as people frequent the area below where this is hanging out. i'd never installed one before. i was doing it wrong amazingly...didn't put the bottom part in the slot lol.
thanks for posting this, you probably saved someones life D:
Omg! when he turned it on I actually thought I was going to feel the air lol...
My Daddy maybe u did, in spirit
My Daddy The The
Yes, I was hoping.
Same
Omg I know me toooo I wanna feel it so bad lol
I'm so happy you found it useful. Thanks for the post.
You are the best--thank you! You would be an excellent handiness trainer to help people like me become more self-sufficient b/c you explain things so clearly that even someone clumsy or unconfident or even mentally slow could become an expert!
Stay cool this winter lol
Thanks for the video
I'm not your daughter, but I love ya for this! You've saved me from a summer of sleep deprivation.❤
I like your instructions. Simple, Well done easily understood. Thanks 😊
I'm so grateful for this video. I'm also mildly shocked I had my first ac up for months without something to lock the window from moving up...
Thank you - you did a nice job explaining this.
I sure will stay cool thanks to you Buddy.. wonderful video just perfect!
thank you! I just bought the exact same ac unit on Craigslist! I love it!
thank you for leaving this video up...it is very helpful
Wow, very simple and clear video! Thanks for creating and posting it!
I appreciate your time explaining everything thanks 🙏. I’m installing one for a friend of mine.😎😎
Thank you much, for taking the time to make this video. It sure did help a lot.
Thanks a lot, that was so easy. I got a dirty window unit on the side of the road. Looked like a newer non digital model. Took it apart, cleaned it, let it sit in soapy bleach water, hosed it off, put it back together, and thanks to your video it's sitting in the window right now!
At least my shit didn't fall like that one dude
Was wondering where you got that window restrictor thing to stop the window from going up. Thanks for the video. It was helpful.
haven’t been able to sleep in my room for days bc it’s so hot and i didn’t know how to install it and my dad kept putting it off. thank you 🙏🏼
Nice video. Very well explained and precise. Thank you.
You are an excellent teacher!! Thank you!
Still somewhat paranoid to do this, but after watching your video I think I've got the courage to at least try (and hopefully not kill anyone in the process). Thanks for posting.
Thank you! Very clear instruction. Much appreciated.
Great video- well done! Thanks for the instruction.
thank you! you are very thorough and helpful
learned alot from this video. if I do install a unit these steps will certainly help out along with its manual
Thank you very much, so helpful and you are a very calm person.
Looks pretty plain and simple I live in florida and need i say more i need one of these my Main Unit doesn't keep up older home.. Definitely getting one of these asap
7:20 "I hope you feel cold this winter.." Lol. Thanks for the video, this really help.
Thank you very much for such a wonderful and useful video sir!
This actually taught me a lot thanks for making this video
Perfect ! Thanks for the video. Helped a lot !
Most unscrew the unit from the outer shell box. They slide the air condition back into the outer shell and screw it back together It makes them feel more secure and safe when putting the heavy air condition unit into the window. This way most of the work is done first, then the heavy air condition goes in. It is easy to take the ac apart.
Some ac's you have to screw the side pull out curtains from the inside to attach and have to take the outer shell of the ac off any way. Some you don't. Some feel comfortable not taking the outer shell off to save time and just lift the whole unit up themselves. It seems the only ones that feel comfortable are the ones that live in homes and not on a main level. Myself I live 6 floors up in apt. building so the sleeve came off to install then put the ac back into it. Great video!
Thank you for this. This gave me peace of mind and now I'm ready to install mine. I love youtube!!
Thank you so much your videos are so so helpful.I install my 110 AC just like you showed me🎉
Huge help, roommates weren’t home and today was the start of a heat advisory
That was a great demonstration! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I’m making my first attempt at it, solo, right now.
Thank you. Awesome , with your direction I was able to put a small ac unit in the window all by myself. LOL
Thank u so much, this was really helpful, me and my husband first apartment together and we got really nervous installing this one on the second floor 🥴
Thanks so much for uploading this!
Thanks. I needed help with that hump part on the bottom. Didn’t know if it was supposed to be inside or out. The “put the hand on the outside of the A/C “ was so helpful. It made installing it so much easier. WHO NEEDA MEN WHEN YOU CAN JUST WATCH A RUclips VIDEO MADE BY A MAN!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is so helpful. thank you!
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
I want a room A/C at a cabin that has central air. Thanks for this quick how to 🙂 video.
I like a cold room. Everyone else wants the thermostat at 74. Uh, no! I like 68 or 65 degrees.
I believe a support mount shelf can be installed first. Im looking up A/C units now. Also, there are portable A/C units that are freestanding in the room. They look like an air cleaner.
thank you this awesome helpful video.
may I know what's this lock on sides known as and from where to buy those? Thank you.
