air conditioning question
 

ok, so the hot weather is on it's way this weekend and I know it's going to continue to be hot, I want to put in my AC from last year in my window, is there anything I should do to it before turning it on? I've never done this before. should I just plug it in some outlet and have it run for a bit?

1. turn cold water tap on
2. Put your right hand under cold water
3. goto plug
4. put fingers in holes

heh we just got an A/C System installed and now my fingers are fucking numb.


Bucknub: yes.

Open window.
Place AC unit on window sill.
Go out in the yard and pick up AC unit.

There should be some mounting brackets that were included with the unit. Hope you saved them.............and the instructions.

Buck, from some of the suggestions, it's seems you are loved !!

Place unit in window and don't turn on right away. Let it sit for a few hours so the lubricating oil inside settles. Then crank it up and hang some meat from the ceiling.

for extra support, if you think that your window cannot support the weight of the ac unit, use a 2by4 to prop up under the ac unit outside, just a ghetto thing that might help.... beer:

ok thanks


im pretty sure it will suport the weight, I had it in last summer and all I had was my window closed on it holding it in place lol

secure it, that is one of the fav way for someone to break into your house

even if it's in a second story window?

Also make sure it is angled down on the outside slightly. If you don't, the water that collects will drain into your house.

Be a man and brave the heat. You'll lose weight, too..its win-win.

What kind of loser doesn't have central air? happy:

People already tell me I can use a few pounds

thats why i love las vegas, every single house here has air conditioning on the roof, or on the side. its funny driving and seeing houses with big ass things on the roof

I have a really big fan thats in the center of my apartment, does that count?
