ac install front

For AskMe: installing an A/C unit in a jalousie window. The top piece of wood is the key, it’s the brace holding the unit in the window. In turn, the unit is also holding the wood in place against the interior window molding with its upper flange because the unit’s not-inconsiderable weight is slightly angled down toward the outside (you want to angle it down like that so condensation can drip outside, not pool up on your floor inside). The top wood bar is secured with L-shaped brackets screwed into the window frame. These brackets are hidden behind the accordian window cover that came with the A/C unit.

The bottom piece of wood turned out to be less important, although I initially spent a lot of time trying to come up with a way to make the window sill flat despite the metal tracks running its length. Turns out, you barely need anything down there, just something tall enough for the bottom flange of the A/C unit to butt up against and wide enough to give just a little bit of flat space for the unit to rest upon. This piece of wood is held in place with screws drilled straight down into the sill.

I initially worried that the unit might tip back inside, what with the cats often using it as a window seat, but their combined weight + my pushing down on the front still doesn’t make this thing budge.

ac install top

For AskMe: installing an A/C unit in a jalousie window. For the sake of aesthetics (already a very low bar when dealing with ugly window units) I didn’t want L brackets on top but I was prepared to put them in, if it needed it. It didn’t need it, the pair of L brackets on the underside are more than enough.

Right now, I have the gap between the glass panes and the unit blocked off with one of the panes I removed from the window. It’s simply resting on top of the unit and leaning against the bottom-most pane. This means the pane covering the gap falls out if I open the jalousie window. As this particular window has two sections with separate controls, I just open the top section and leave the bottom one shut. Come this winter, I’ll probably have to come up with a better solution (no doubt inspired by a forecast of a cold snap).
