Question:
I am looking for a casement window air conditioner. I have Andersen crank
out windows. 25" w x 43" high. I haven't been able to find a casement air
conditioner to fit the width. They all seem to be about 15" wide and don't
seem to have the adjustable sides that the standard window a/c's have. I
know I can get a kit to adjust the height, but how do I make it fit the
width?
Answer:
If I understand you correctly that your windows are 25" wide, then you
should not need a casement unit- a regular one should fit. The casement
units serve a specific purpose (limited market), and thus are harder to
find, only made in a couple of capacities, and are much more expensive.
If for some reason you want/need to use a casement unit, you can just
make your own filler panels out of plywood, masonite, or whatever. Those
plastic sliding fillers are pretty flimsy anyway, and usually are pretty
well deterioatedafter a couple of years.
In addition,You can buy small split A/C systems' with the condenser outside
