12:36 In the summer of 2012, I lost an air conditioner that way. Poor feller dropped from the 2nd floor to the roof of a carport and then bounced to a paved driveway. There was no putting humpty dumpty back together on that one.

[@ms7168]

I was a little concerned I sold my Mom and Dad's house after they died and their system was 21 years old and R-22 but they had had relatively little trouble with it so I called the Company who installed it and the Man who showed up said he was the one who actually did the installation! He was happy to see it was still plugging along. All he could find to do was a slight recharge about half a pound and I had him change the thermostat because they had an old one and I got a touch screen digital. The people who bought the house didn't seem to be concerned about it so that was good.

[@warenmann1042]

I don't mind the dog barking, he's just doing his job, just remember we walked into his yard he didn't come into ours. He's a good dog, he should get an extra biscuit tonight. Enjoyed the video...

Well done Curtis, now they will be more comfortable at night, good luck with getting the new A/C change over 👍 Au

[@kg4muc]

Really nice of you to help out with a window unit even if you don’t get the change out! Both those units are museum pieces lol. They lived a good long life! Have a good weekend and stay cool

[@AdamCraig-ir6yl]

Thank goodness they got the camera over the unit. Someone might steal the stroller lol

[@chrishayden7016]

I have a GE Porta-cool window air conditioner that still works. It was only used to cool the bedroom until I got a huge Window unit at Montgomery Wards. 18,000 BTU. It lasted five years and two months, then the compressor seized. 5 year warranty, lol.

[@leahciM_silliW]

Good catch, Curtis. Cat-like reflexes. Renting a window unit is a little interesting. You really take care of your customers.

It appears the side closures on the window unit are a pain. But I bet it cools real nice like.

[@MassiveGarbage]

I have a very similar unit with the same side panels. It's a pain. They don't seal at all.

[@skyman2002]

When you get this unit back, make sure you pull the drain plug on the back of the unit, the condensers rust out like you wouldn't believe. It'll also dehumidify better

[@jimbergen5232]

Oh my. I always put an old towel under a unit to fill in those empty spaces. Also, at the very least a 2x4 under the back ( on the sill ) to stabilize it from falling out. That single pane window is not heavy enough as a weight to hold it in place. The unit is quite, though.

Della makes pretty good and efficient portable and window units. Not quite as good as the GE ClearView or Midea Saddle style ones, but still great for general use.

[@chrisnapier5626]

Great videos,Curtis!

[@steely_Bob]

Curtis you should get the ge profile saddle window units for cases like this. They are way easier to install.

[@staind288]

I have a soleus air saddle with heat pump function and it is absolutely flawless. The weatherization it comes with is closed cell foam blocks and a roll of closed cell sticky backed foam for top and bottom. Much better than the standard acordian garbage.

[@MassiveGarbage]

​@@staind288 What is the lowest outdoor temp it can heat down to?

[@staind288]

@@MassiveGarbage it's around 25 or so

[@staind288]

@@MassiveGarbage it's still Heating at 25 but not as warm. It confuses me why it doesn't shut the compressor off at lower temp but I did not design it. I still think that it should be a little lower but I understand wanting to preserve the compressor. These things are not cheap LOL

[@MassiveGarbage]

@@staind288 Ok thanks. Not sure it would be worth it for me then. It's routinely well below that at night where I live so it might not work to well.

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

Seems like only a few people can weed wack or grass clear around the units. You would think that some would especially knowing you are coming to get them fixed up with cooling. I guess since so many are rentals that the tenants just don’t care. Good Video as usual. Good gesture too with the window unit.

[@BWIL2515]

I don't know why they wouldn't add a couple of arms that would hook over the edge of the window sill just a little more stable

[@bill944]

Good of you to rent the window unit. The company I work for will install window units or spot coolers after there's a signed contract and at least a 10% payment on a replacement system. We've been burned in the past when a customer would promise the world to get window units, ghost us and buy from another company.

I have one of these units. Mine is branded dreo but it's the same thing made by midea. The compressors in these things really aren't quiet. They make a rumble sound and can be annoying.

[@scoobtoober2975]

1 ton midea inverter u shape window unit is 450. I think that is the way to go for most in a pinch. i love my whole house but man was it expensive. pieces for dual fuel was 4600$. Install would have been another 15000. Yikes You are a dog lover. we can tell. Curtis, is that your name. Some have said. You are awesome and patient. Your nutrition has to be on point.

If you want to see something amazing, watch the KZbin video where the man bought, 'the cheapest welder I could find on Amazon', to see how long it would take to fail, and to see what it could do. It was the size of a loaf of bread, and not much heavier, yet the performance was equal to a welding machine costing hundreds of dollars. It was an inverter powered machine costing about $100. There are a lot of smart electrical engineers in China. Even from a 120 volt outlet it could use a 1/8 inch diameter welding rod no problem. They will sell hundreds of millions of those window units around the world. It will be interesting to see how long they last. I wonder how much copper in in one? Clear shipping tape would close those gaps around that window unit for years.
