Buying advice: window air conditioners

  1. Roughly 5,000 to 6,000 BTU suits about 150 to 250 sq ft; larger rooms, sunny rooms and kitchens need more.
  2. Inverter compressors run at variable speed for quieter, steadier cooling. U-shaped units let the window close through the middle, cutting noise and drafts.
  3. Compare CEER ratings and Energy Star certification.
  4. Check minimum and maximum window widths and whether your window type is supported. Casement and sliding windows need different units.
  5. Use the included brackets or a support bracket and make sure the unit tilts slightly outward for drainage.

Can you install a regular window air conditioner in a casement window?

No, not without a custom-built frame. Standard window air conditioners are designed to slide into a horizontal opening created by pushing up a double-hung or single-hung sash, with side panels that extend to fill the remaining gap. A casement window cranks outward on a hinge and has no sliding sash, so there's no standard opening for a unit to sit in or seal against.

What's the real solution for cooling a room with only casement windows?

A portable air conditioner with a casement window installation kit is the standard workaround. The kit replaces the vent hose's flat window-slider panel with a version that fits in the narrower gap created by cranking the casement window partly open, sealing around the hose rather than requiring a sliding sash.
