When the summer heat comes, then any, even a budget version of the air conditioner, becomes the most desirable purchase for the home. A simple window air conditioner will provide a favorable climate in the room of an apartment or a private house. But the installation of a window air conditioner has its own nuances, which we will consider in this article.

When installing the product in a window unit, the fixing is carried out directly in the structure of the latter. In this case, it must be taken into account that the air intake grilles do not overlap - otherwise the electric motor of the air conditioner will quickly overheat due to the lack of a normal air flow.

It is very laborious work to independently install household appliances of this class, it requires certain technical knowledge, skills, accurate and precise actions. The slightest skewing of the plane of the window and the product is fraught with negative consequences, and any negligence can lead to damage to expensive equipment. If you nevertheless decide to carry out the installation of the air conditioner yourself, you should familiarize yourself with the following important points.

1. For any design of such a product, a gasket is assumed separate line of electrical wiring, mandatory installation of an RCD (residual current device) in the apartment panel. It is necessary to connect the window-type air conditioner to a separate outlet; it is strictly forbidden to use carriers.
2. There should be no gaps between the air conditioner case and the window unit in order to avoid drafts and other negative effects on the effective operation of the product.

Only clear execution of sequential actions during the installation of equipment will be able to ensure normal operation and stable operation of the product.

How to position the air conditioner correctly

Before installing a window-type air conditioner with your own hands, you need to study the following rules for the location of the device.

Do not forget about the safety of your apartment - insert a wedge into the window so that it cannot be opened from the outside, otherwise a burglar will be able to enter the room by opening the window opening and pushing the product out of the established place.

By thoroughly fulfilling all the listed rules, you will ensure long and trouble-free operation of your air conditioner.

Minimum set of tools

Installation of a window air conditioner begins with the preparation of the necessary tools:

• impact type drill or hammer drill;
• set of drills;
• a file for metal for cutting in metal-plastic of the required dimensions;
• a set of chisels;
• glass cutter;
• ordinary level;
• grinder or special attachment for a drill with a cut-off wheel;
• indoor and flat corners for furniture;
• silicone based sealant;
• paint and brush.

Before installing a window air conditioner, you need to draw up a work plan, make careful measurements and order special frame of similar material with a hole in the middle for the product. The last point is especially important for reinforced-plastic windows, because such an installation is significantly different from installing an air conditioner in a wooden frame. The algorithm is almost identical, but there is much more work with metal-plastic because of its specific properties and standard dimensions of the glass block. In a simple wooden frame, it is enough to remove some of the glass, insert the bulkhead and all the work. Installing a window air conditioner in a plastic window is more difficult: it requires special calculations, otherwise it simply will not withstand the load.

Installation Algorithm

The installation of a window air conditioner in a wooden or plastic window is carried out according to the methodology worked out in practice, provided by experienced craftsmen. The preparatory stage is considered the most difficult and time consuming: if you have not ordered a separate frame with a prepared compartment for placing the device, you will have to cut out the excess glass and insert a jumper made of a similar material. In the case of metal-plastic, you cannot do without a specialist, since an incorrectly calculated partition can bend during operation and nullify all your efforts.

Modern models of air conditioners are made in such a way that it is not so difficult to fix them in any construction of a window block or frame, regardless of whether they open. This is possible thanks to the special design of the mechanism, which is removed and attached to the bracket.

Before installing the product in the place of future work, it is necessary to unblock the compressor and the fan of the device from the transport pads.

During installation, check tilt angle towards the street for effective removal of condensate. Even small gaps during installation should not be - they are removed with a sealant. When all operations are completed, then it is necessary to touch up the damaged coating.

The air conditioner is designed to pump cooled air into the interior, while condensate is constantly formed due to the temperature difference, which is removed through a special hole, to which it must be connected fluid outlet hose out. The hose should be checked for air locks that make it difficult to remove moisture and kinks; the lower end of the tube or outlet structure should not touch the surface of the ground or the water surface in the container where the resulting liquid flows, if you live on the first floor.

Each air conditioner must be grounded after installation - at the same time fix the terminals immovably in order to exclude unexpected damage.

After completing all the work, it is necessary to visually check the correctness of the execution, only after that you can do a test run to check the functional capabilities of the air conditioner, make sure its power. If you invited specialists, then you need to draw up an acceptance certificate to assure the correct execution of all work.

To help home craftsmen, there is a video on how you can install the air conditioner yourself:

Pros and cons

Household appliances such as a window air conditioner do not require a separate laying of freon lines between the outer and inner parts, which greatly simplifies the installation process and increases reliability.

Advantages:

• easy installation and maintenance;
• high efficiency with small dimensions;
• models with built-in cleaning filters provide already clean air, without impurities.

Disadvantages:

• increased noise up to 59 dB;
• violation of the tightness of the window frame;
• separate costs for making an opening for the device.

It is worth mentioning the noise separately: if you look at the table of various noises, then the operation of a window air conditioner at minimum speed produces the least noise effect, and at maximum it makes no more noise than an ordinary conversation.

Air conditioning has become an integral part of a comfortable living environment. Among the variety of types of climatic technology, the convenience and simplicity of the design stands out for the window monoblock. It is installed in rooms where it is impossible to place split systems. Various power of devices (from 2 to 6 kW) allows you to choose the optimal model for a small office, apartment or shopping pavilion. A window air conditioner can be inserted into a plastic window not only by a master invited from the service, but also by a home craftsman. It is enough to study the sequence of installation operations and follow it clearly.

Advantages and disadvantages of a window air conditioner

Climatic equipment in the form of a monoblock does not require laying a freon line between the external and internal parts, this simplifies installation and increases its reliability. Among the advantages of a built-in air conditioner:

• affordable cost;
• long-term operation;
• ease of maintenance and installation;
• high efficiency in a compact size;
• models with built-in filters provide clean air.

Among the disadvantages of the unit:

• increased noise;
• the need to make an opening in the window profile, if it is not provided for by the design;
• violation of the tightness of the window.

Monoblock design and features

Modern models of window air conditioners have broad functionality. They are designed not only for cooling, but also for space heating. The antibacterial filter removes dust, harmful microorganisms and odors from the incoming air.

The monoblock design of the unit means installation in a common housing of all units: fans, cooling system, compressor.

Inexpensive air conditioner models operate smoothly in moderate conditions, if the equipment is exposed to intense loads, it is better to choose a powerful apparatus of a well-known brand. Such monoblocks are equipped with an electronic control system and a remote control. It is necessary to choose an air conditioner through the window sensibly, focusing on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the power of the device, the ratio of its parameters and the size of the window structure.

Preparation for the installation of climatic technology

Before installing a window air conditioner in a plastic window, choose a suitable place. There are several rules, following which the device will be placed with maximum efficiency and safety:

1. When installing, the cardinal points are taken into account, the air conditioner should not be exposed to constant sunlight. The degree of impact of precipitation and other natural factors is taken into account. The protection of the air conditioner will be ensured by the installation of a visor over its body.
2. The presence of advertising structures or similar external interference is undesirable. They impede air circulation, therefore, it is excluded that partitions are closer than 50 cm.
3. There are ventilation openings in the sides of the unit housing; they must not remain open.
4. Providing the fastest drainage of condensate allows the location of the air conditioner at a slight slope towards the street, 1-2 cm is enough.
5. For the monoblock, a separate wiring line is laid, including a separate machine on the switchboard. It is forbidden to connect climatic equipment using extension cords.
6. Heated air emanates from the rear wall of the unit; it should not pose a danger to people outside.
7. When installing a window air conditioner in the lower part of the window, the distance from the floor to its body is at least 75 cm. If the opening is in the upper part of the window structure, then you will need a metal frame to fix the monoblock. This arrangement will provide optimal conditions for creating a favorable indoor climate.

Instructions for self-installation of a window air conditioner

Tool for work:

• electric jigsaw;
• drill;
• roulette;
• building level;
• grinder with a disc for metal;
• glass cutting roller;
• construction knife.

The best option is to install the air conditioner in a plastic window with an opening of the required size, made to order. Otherwise, the place for the climatic equipment is prepared independently. Before installation, the degree of strength of the frame is visually assessed, if it is insufficient, then it is reinforced with a metal corner. The installation of the air conditioner is carried out using the mounting kit included in the kit, purchased in a store or made by hand. This does not affect the reliability of installation.

1. Preparing the opening for installation. Having chosen the place where the air conditioner body is placed with the smallest gap, take out the glass unit, insert a jumper and cut the glass to size. The unit can be wall-mounted if its thickness is not more than 250 mm.
2. Securing the mounting frame. This element is designed to hold the air conditioner, so it is bolted with great care. The level fixes a slight outward slope to ensure the drainage of condensate. Some models are equipped with a cover that replaces the frame installation.
3. After installing the air conditioner, the gaps are sealed with polyurethane foam. The dried composition is cut with a knife. An alternative way is to close the cracks with foam rubber. Small gaps can be sealed with silicone sealant. Damage to the paint on the frames requires painting with enamel of a similar color.
4. To drain the liquid, a drainage hose is installed, it is placed without kinks and kinks.
5. The unit is powered from a separate line. As an electrical appliance, the air conditioner needs to be grounded.
6. After the installation is completed, it is necessary to check the efficiency of the equipment and the noise level during its operation.

Monoblock maintenance consists in timely washing of heat exchangers and replacement of filters.

Which is better, a window air conditioner or a split split system - 5 factors in favor of choosing a monoblock

For those homeowners who cannot afford the purchase of expensive air conditioning equipment, I suggest installing a monoblock window air conditioner in a plastic window. It will cost significantly less, besides, its installation will not be difficult to perform independently, without significant financial costs. For those who have doubts, I will give reasons in favor of this decision.

Factor 1. The principle of operation of a window air conditioner

All compressor-type air conditioners operate on the heat pump principle, which in the mode of lowering the temperature, transfers heat from the cooled room to the street. As a working substance in such pumps, special refrigerants (freons) are used, which, depending on the operating pressure and temperature, can be in a liquid or gaseous state.

Window-type air conditioners work on the same principle, so inside they are divided by an airtight partition into two insulated parts, one of which is located outside the window, and the other inside the room. An electric compressor, a condenser and a fan motor are installed in the outer part, and an evaporator, a circulation fan impeller and an electronic control unit are located in the inner part.

1. After turning on the air conditioner, the gaseous freon is compressed 5-6 times under the action of the compressor, and enters the condenser, warming up to a temperature of 60-90 ° C;
2. The condenser is a flow-through coil made of finned copper or brass tubes, due to which it has a large heat transfer surface. Thanks to this, the compressed and heated freon cools down quickly, giving off its heat to the surrounding space (to the street), and passes into a liquid state of aggregation;

1. Liquid freon passes through the throttle valve, which has a very small cross-section, and through a system of pipes it enters the evaporator, which is installed in the inside of the air conditioner;
2. Inside the evaporator, liquefied freon enters a space with a large volume, therefore it expands sharply, as a result of which it turns from a liquid state into a vapor.
3. The evaporation process is accompanied by a strong absorption of heat and the release of a large amount of coldtherefore the evaporator is cooled to a very low temperature (-12 ° C to -24 ° C);
4. After that, the evaporated freon under the influence of vacuum again enters the compressor, and the whole described cycle is repeated anew;

1. Inside the window air conditioner there is an electric motor, which has two fan impellers on both sides on one shaft. This electric motor will usually turn on at the same time as the compressor starts;
2. The impeller of the outdoor unit, during operation, blows the condenser, and thereby contributes to the best heat removal into the atmosphere, and the speedy liquefaction of heated compressed freon.
3. The impeller of the indoor unit is designed for forced circulation of warm air from the room through the cooled evaporator. Thus, the entire volume of air in the room is gradually cooled and transfers its heat through the refrigerant to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

Factor 2. Additional functions of window air conditioners

Despite its name, the modern window air conditioner is not only designed to cool the air. Thanks to the built-in additional functions, it can constantly maintain optimal climatic parameters of the indoor air. In ventilation mode, it can perform the function of forced supply or extract ventilation.

Some models of inverter air conditioners, in addition to cooling, also have a heating function, so in the warm season they can cool the room, and in the cold season they can work in the heater mode.

1. Built-in touch sensors and an electronic control unit monitor the temperature and humidity of the air inside the room, and can turn on or off the air conditioner in automatic mode, depending on the preset settings;

1. In order to ventilate the room without opening the window, a special window is provided in the dividing partition between the outer and inner parts, which in the normal position is closed by an airtight shutter;
2. When the ventilation function is activated, this damper automatically opens, after which the additional fan motor starts. Depending on the selected mode, it can work as a forced exhaust or as a blower fan;
3. The window heating air conditioner is equipped with exactly the same interchangeable evaporator and condenser models, which are installed and connected symmetrically to the compressor. The direction of movement of the refrigerant, in this case, is set using controlled electromagnetic three-way valves;

1. When the unit is operating in room cooling mode, the internal coil acts as an evaporator, and the outer one plays the role of a capacitor. In this case, freon circulates as described in the first section;
2. When the room heating mode is turned on, the solenoid valves redistribute the direction of the freon movement in the opposite direction. Thus, the outdoor unit with chilled liquid refrigerant removes heat from the street and becomes an evaporator, and the indoor unit with heated vapors of compressed freon gives off heat to the room and becomes a condenser.

Despite the manufacturer's stated technical characteristics, I do not recommend turning on the heating function for a long time, or using the air conditioner as the main heater when the air temperature outside the window is below + 3 ° C. The fact is that at low temperatures, the viscosity of the engine oil in the compressor increases significantly.
This leads to increased power consumption, accelerated wear of rubbing parts and premature failure of the compressor unit.

Factor 3. Main advantages and disadvantages

There is a widespread belief among apartment owners that window air conditioners are outdated and are now practically not used anywhere. From my experience, I can say that this opinion is wrong, since even now many homeowners opt for just such models. This is due to the fact that the built-in window air conditioner has a number of significant advantages over separate split systems:

1. Very often, the main criterion for choosing household appliances is their cost. As I already said, the purchase of a monoblock window will cost significantly less than the cost of purchasing, installing and connecting modern split systems;
2. In most cases, the installation of the outdoor unit of the split system must be performed using an aerial platform or with the involvement of industrial climbers, and such work is very expensive;
3. Taking into account the design features of the split system, refrigerant charging of such air conditioners is carried out at the very end, after installation and connection of the freon line. Refueling must be performed by a qualified specialist, who will also require a certain amount of money for his work;

1. Window or window monoblocks are sold filled with freon and completely ready for installation, therefore, installing a window air conditioner with your own hands is not particularly difficult. Installation work is carried out directly from the apartment window, and the absence of an outdoor unit does not require the involvement of industrial climbers;
2. Due to the compact arrangement of components and assemblies, as well as the absence of a long freon line, such devices have a higher efficiency, and are distinguished by higher maintainability, reliability and durability;
3. Due to the fact that the window monoblock is installed at the junction of the street and the apartment, it is easy to implement the function of forced ventilation, which allows you to quickly and efficiently ventilate the room. In a split split system, this function is technically very difficult to implement;

If we talk about which one is better to choose an air conditioner for your apartment, then I must draw the attention of readers to some of the disadvantages that are inherent in almost all models of window air conditioners:

1. The installation of any air conditioner violates the aesthetics of the building and spoils the appearance of the facade, and the installation of a monoblock window, in addition, also blocks a part of the window light opening;
2. The dividing partition between the outer and inner parts of the air conditioner does not have proper thermal insulation, therefore, in severe frosts, it can cause cold penetration into the apartment.
3. The presence of small gaps between the window frame and the air conditioner case, as well as a loose closing of the ventilation flap, can become a source of drafts.
4. To reduce the noise level in the room, all electrical components and assemblies (compressor and fan motors) are located in the outer part of the monoblock air conditioner. Despite this, his work is still accompanied by a quiet monotonous noise, therefore, objectively speaking, split systems work much quieter;

Long curtains and curtains made of thick, heavy fabric can prevent air from circulating properly through the evaporator of the window unit. To prevent this from happening, the curtains and blinds on the windows should be selected so long that they do not slightly reach the air intake grilles of the indoor unit.

Factor 4. Features of installation and connection

Despite the fact that the technology of installing a monoblock window may seem quite simple at first glance, when performing such work, you will have to redo the glass unit and make changes to the design of the window frame. To make it easier for the reader to cope with this task, as an example, a step-by-step instruction will be described in which I will describe in detail the main stages of installing a window air conditioner in a metal-plastic window.

1. First of all, you need to decide where the air conditioner will be located in the window. In my opinion, the most suitable place is the lower part of one of the deaf, non-opening flaps.;

1. On the selected sash, you need to remove the locking plastic glazing beads. Cut out a layer of silicone sealant around the perimeter of the glass with a sharp knife, and then carefully dismantle the glass unit;
2. Before installing a window air conditioner on your own, a supply cable with a cross-section of 3x1.5 mm² must be brought to the installation site, which must be connected in the switchboard to a separate automatic machine of the corresponding power;
3. Insert the air conditioner into the window opening that has been freed from glass, and pre-fix it at several points using the standard mounting brackets that are included in the delivery set;
4. If the overall dimensions of the device turn out to be less than the window opening, then for its installation an additional insert with a cutout for the air conditioner will be required, which will be installed between its body and the window frame;

1. It can be made of a hard and durable weather-resistant material (sheet aluminum, thick plastic or bakelized plywood), and then insulated from the outside with a layer of extruded polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam with a thickness of at least 50 mm;
2. The insert must be installed in place of the double-glazed unit, smeared with silicone sealant around the perimeter, and rigidly fixed to the window frame along the entire perimeter using self-tapping screws. From the inside, it is best to paint it in the color of the main metal-plastic profile;
3. Above the insert, install and fix a small segment of the lower profile of the window frame, which can be purchased at a workshop for the manufacture of metal-plastic windows;
4. After installing the lower profile of the window opening, you need to remove the dimensions for the installation of glass, and order in the same workshop the manufacture of a new double-glazed unit, which will be installed above the air conditioner;
5. During the final installation of the air conditioner, it should be started from inside the window. The front panel and the inside of the monoblock must be brought inside the cutout in the intermediate insert, and fix it using the mounting brackets without tightening the mounting bolts all the way;

1. Using a level and spacers, align the front air conditioner with respect to the window, and make sure that its body slopes horizontally from the room towards the street, not less than 2 °;
2. After that, you need to connect an electrical cable to the device, and do not forget to tighten the mounting bolts to the end, and blow out the existing slots and joints with foam and lubricate with silicone sealant for outdoor use;
3. Install a new double-glazed unit in the upper opening of the window above the air conditioner, spill it around the perimeter with silicone sealant, and install locking glazing beads on the metal-plastic profile;
4. As a rule, window air conditioners have a long resource and a long service life, but if you suddenly need to repair the compressor unit or refill the system with freon, then disassembling the window and dismantling the monoblock will need to be performed in the reverse order.

So that after a major overhaul in the apartment you do not have to redo a new window with your own hands, the purchase of a monoblock air conditioner and the order of metal-plastic windows are best done at the same time. At the same time, it is enough to provide the installation dimensions of the air conditioner to the workshop that manufactures windows, and indicate where it should be located, and then they will do everything themselves.

Factor 5. Alternative to window monoblock

If you have a portable mobile air conditioner on wheels in your home, then I advise you to install it next to the windowsill and direct the hot exhaust air from the condenser directly to the window. This will increase its efficiency and help reduce electricity consumption., and in addition, it will eliminate the need to lay a thick hose throughout the apartment to release hot air.

In order to neatly bring the hose out into the street, you will need to make a small intermediate insert, which will be installed in the window frame below the main glass unit.

1. Before installing the floor air conditioner in a plastic window, you need to measure the length and diameter of the hot air outlet hose, and make an insert according to these dimensions;

1. Further steps for making the insert should be performed in the same way as described in the previous section, with the only difference that it is not necessary to cut a large opening in it for the entire air conditioner, but it is enough to make a round hole in the diameter of the discharge plastic hose.
2. In the resulting hole, you need to firmly fix the plastic sleeve. Put the free end of the air outlet hose on it, and fix it with a plastic crimp clamp;
3. When hot air escapes outside, condensation may form in the pipe.... To prevent water from flowing back into the hose, when installing the sleeve, it must be given a slight slope towards the street.

1. Although the air conditioner will only be used during the hot summer months, the window insert for the floor air conditioner will remain in place when the cold weather sets in. To prevent the cold from penetrating into the hole in winter, a dense insulated plug must be made for it in advance.
2. Some models of floor-standing air conditioners, in the standard delivery set, have a ready-made insert for outputting the air hose to the window. It is made in the form of a telescopic plastic strip with an oval hole and is completed with a sleeve for connecting a hose.
3. If used, it is also installed in the lower part of the window, and its length is adjusted by extending the inner telescopic bar.

All mobile floor air conditioners are equipped with a removable collection container, therefore, during long-term operation of the device, it must be periodically removed and the accumulated water poured out of it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that for the normal operation of a monoblock window, its rear part must be freely blown from all sides by cool ambient air from the street. For this reason, it is not allowed to install a window air conditioner in deep openings or blind wall niches.

It is also prohibited to cover its outer part with decorative and protective grilles or other similar devices that may impede free air circulation.

Window models of air conditioners are monoblock air cooling devices that are mounted in a window frame. As a rule, they are used in the summer period of the year, and in the winter they are turned off or dismantled.

With the advent of plastic insulating glass units and split systems, monoblocks have lost their popularity. The fact is that it is more difficult to install a window air conditioner into a plastic window than into a wooden frame. In this case, it is very important not to spoil the glass unit and not to reduce its tightness.

In this article, we will try to rehabilitate monoblock climate systems and tell you how to mount them in modern frames with your own hands.

Monoblock conditioners

First, you need to understand the design and operation of window air conditioners. For the most part, such coolers are monoblock devices. This means that all the main structural details are in a single block. This is the main feature of window coolers and their main difference from split systems.

Window models of air conditioners are installed in a special hole in the window frame made of wood or PVC. They draw air from the street, clean and cool it and supply it to the room. Such models are quite effective for small apartments, have low noise levels and aesthetic appearance.

Small mobile air conditioners

Monoblock devices include mobile mini-coolers, which can be installed in rooms where there is access to a window. Air inflow into the device is carried out through a special hose, which is discharged into the open sash of the window. As a rule, small window air conditioners for a house are installed for the summer season in an apartment or in a country house. The disadvantages of such models include bulky appearance and high noise levels.

Installation of a monoblock window

Correct installation of a window air conditioner with your own hands is quite difficult, but possible. It is best to install the monoblock when repairing an opening or when replacing a glass unit. In this section, we have listed the basic rules for the installation of such climatic equipment.

Installation tool kit

Installing a monoblock into a plastic window is a rather laborious process that will require an impressive set of tools. Many of them can be found in every home, but some parts will have to be bought on purpose. Let's list the minimum set of tools for installing a cooler:

• Hammer drill or hammer drill.
• A set of drills and chucks for various materials.
• Electric jigsaw.
• Metal file.
• A set of chisels.
• Level.
• A grinder or a special attachment for a drill with a cut-off wheel.
• Indoor and flat corners for furniture.
• Silicone based sealant.
• Paint and brush.

The location of the device is an important factor that directly affects the efficiency of the window air conditioner. Therefore, before installing the monoblock, you must carefully choose a place for its placement. In this case, you should be guided by the following rules:

• To begin with, it is worth visually inspecting the frames of the window opening, since they will become the basis for attaching the device. Bolts, mounting brackets and corners of sufficient strength are used as fasteners. If you are not sure about the strength of the frames, you need to strengthen them in any possible way.
• When choosing a place for an air conditioner, you need to think over the condensate drainage mechanism. In order for condensate not to linger inside the case, it must be placed with a slight slope towards the street - by 1–2.5 cm.
• The inside of the monoblock should not be covered with furniture - this will impede proper air circulation and may affect the performance of the device. Also, do not place the cooler close to places of rest for people - above a sofa, bed or table.
• On the sides of the monoblock, it is necessary to leave free space for unhindered access when servicing the device.

Installation Algorithm

The process of installing a window air conditioner with your own hands consists of several important stages. They need to be followed both for self-installation and for professional installation.

First stage: preparation of the window opening and frame

If the air conditioner is installed directly into a glass unit, it is worth choosing such an arrangement of the device in order to avoid gaps between the body and the frame. Modern monoblocks are manufactured according to standard sizes of plastic window sashes, so this requirement is easy to fulfill if the frame has standard dimensions.

Stage two: fixing the case

To install a monoblock window, due to its significant weight, a bracket is required. The bracket is attached to the wall and takes all the weight of the device.

The monoblock should be positioned in such a way that the “street part” protrudes outward at a distance of at least 25–30 cm. It is worth taking care of the reliable fastening of the device and its exact alignment with the frame. Otherwise, the cooler will generate noise during operation and may break.

When installing the case, do not forget about the small angle of inclination towards the street. It is also necessary to monitor the health of the drainage pipe through which the condensate will be discharged outside. If the tubing is kinked or kinked, it must be aligned to avoid air pockets.

It is important to arrange protection from sunlight and rain for the outside of the cooler. This can be done using special visors that will close the device body at an angle.

So, in order to install the monoblock, you need to take the following steps:

• Remove the glass from the frame or the entire frame.
• Install the bracket.
• Install the candy bar.
• Seal gaps between frame and device.

Stage Three: Connecting to Power

The window air conditioner can be connected to the power supply using a separate wire and switch. The power of the device should be selected depending on the capabilities of a particular room. And it is also necessary to ensure that the wiring meets the operating requirements specified in the instructions for the device.
