A/C Window Unit Placement

Question

This might be a dumb question, but here it goes...our house has only window units; in one of the bedrooms the only outside wall is solid windows. Here's the problem: they are the old - style crank out windows. How can we get a/c in that room without installing central air? Do they make a/c's for those type of windows (i doubt it)? Thanks for any input.

Answer 1

Mini Split system, all you need is a 4 inch dia hole in the wall no duct work and they make very little noise.

Answer 2

You would probably need to replace a window. I find it hard to accept that one wall is SOLID windows. Floor to ceiling?

They do make through the wall units that can be built in to a wall. Otherwise you frame one in and put in a different window to fill the space. .  

Answer 3

You might try a portable one on a stand blowing out the window but It wouldn't be very effecient.Have you tried just fans and fresh air(only good if the roof is well insulated)

Answer 4

My parent's house has windows like that in one room too. I know an easy way to get cold air in that room though and that is to just use a fan blowing air from the other room or area with the window unit.
