I was going to go with the Media A/C but could not get a straight answer from them about bracket fitting older window frame. After watching others and your video on the GE unit, I’m convinced GE is better fit installation. And better unit.

I'm glad this video could help out! I moved to a new house after this video was published and it's doing great at the new place. I was able to adapt it to the window here w/ out any issues.

Have you noticed any difference with your electric bill versus your old one and what size is this unit is it the 8,000?

@UltratecJS 5 ай бұрын

8,300 BTU and bill went up a few dollars but nothing crazy than the normal.

@RickFishing 3 ай бұрын

I've let my 8300 BTU unit run for about 3 hours at a time and It has used only between 0.5 to 1 kWh. You can check your electric bill and see how much a kWh costs, which could be anywhere from 12 to 60 cents. So, if you pay 20 cents for a kWh and use it for 6 hours a day then that might be as much as 2kWh for 30 days. So (20 cents) X (2 kWh) X (30 days) = $12.00

Sometimes you envy American sliding windows. For a European window (opening like a door) it is difficult to come up with something similar, only a gateway for a mobile air conditioner pipe.

@Ariadne147 5 ай бұрын

I'm considering purchasing two of these units so I can open my windows when the air conditioners aren't necessary. Do you think I would be able to leave these in the window year round in the Northeast if I covered the outside? One of my least favorite things is getting someone to install and uninstall the units at the beginning and end of the season. Great video, although I noticed you started after you put the foam support on the outside of the window. I'm assuming you just center that and it has it's own tape? Nice music. It wasn't distracting while you spoke and was relaxing.

@UltratecJS 5 ай бұрын

Thank you I'm glad you liked the video! I think you can get away with leaving it up the whole year. This definitely seals a lot better than the regular Window AC's. The black foam under the A/C and the white one on the edges and an additional lighter black sponge type seals everything real tight. The foam support I put was under the AC unit. I don't remember if it brings tape but I don't think it does, I think it just rests without moving because of the weight of the unit. Specially if you're going to cover the outside I would give it a try. I might do the same this year, I moved to a new house and I don't want to take it up and down too. Something cool I'm enjoying with this A/C is that on cooler nights and when still using the A/C it stops pushing out cool air and you save tons of energy. The older generations would still try to push cool air and waste energy. If that makes any sense.

It can be a bit loud with the water in the pan splashing onto the fan but that is good for the coils actually. I noticed on mine when the compressor is off (not cooling) the rear of unit is silent while inside the fan is on and blowing. Took me a minute to realize that these units have 2 fans one inside one outside.
