Differences Between Window And Wall Air Conditioning


For homeowners planning on installing a new type of air conditioning system in their homes, it can be a good idea to learn about the differences between different systems and installation types. Primarily, the homeowner will be interested in purchasing a window air conditioner, or a wall air condition, both of which can service their homes in different ways.

One of the main differences that people will need to consider before they purchase their air conditioning unit is whether they want a fixed or sliding chassis. This typically leads to the questions: “What is a fixed chassis?” The chassis itself is the frame that will support the internal mechanics of the air conditioner itself. When this chassis is described as a fixed one, it means that the chassis does not slide out. This type of chassis is usually reserved exclusively for window installations. A slide out chassis, on the other hand, is designed for wall mounted installation. They are usually much easier to repair because of how easily they slide out, giving homeowners full access to everything they need to see inside of the machine itself.

There are different methods of installation necessary for both types of air conditioning units as well, which can often affect the homeowner’s decision. Window installations are typically much easier to perform. All that you need to do is established the background for the window, set the fixed air conditioner into it, and secure it to make sure that it can hold. With a wall air conditioner, on the other hand, the process can get a little but more difficult. You will need to worry about things such as making the hole in your wall clean, ensuring that you can dig into the back of your wall, which may contain cement. Often, you may need a professional service to help you install such a system.
