Great Install, the only issue being that you put screws in the bottom of the sleeve. Even though the unit is sloped to drain outside in the event of a backup holes in the bottom of the sleeve inside the wall could lead to water damage over time

Thanks for putting this up, finally a video showing me how to properly do this.

Tip: use a stud finder that also can locate wires so you know where any hot wires are.

Tapering the drywall piece and the wall above sure make it easier to tape and drywall with minimum show.

I don’t understand putting something in a hole through an exterior wall with absolutely no flashing. When water gets to the wood what will happen? Do it all over?

Your video shows how to make the existing hole through the wall wider to accommodate a larger sleeve. I need to go in the opposite direction since my new a/c sleeve is a little more than 1 inch shorter (in height) than the one currently installed. How would you recommend "patching" the gap from both the inside and outside of the house?? Although the a/c is installed under the eave of the roof, I want to make sure no driving rain/snow finds its way into any gaps. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you ever get any answer to your question of determine how to make those adjustments? I have the same issue as the newer models are a bit more compact than my old Kenmore from the 80's! Thanks.

@@telumears I did not, but came up with a way on my own. I bought a piece of pressure treated wood (in my case approximately 1.5" thick x 6" deep x 25.5" wide) from Home Depot and screwed it securely into the wall studs running along the bottom of the opening in the wall that the a/c sleeve fits into. That filled in the original gap between the bottom of the a/c sleeve and the wall perfectly. I then caulked all around the opening (including the new piece of wood) very well from both the inside and outside of the wall to make sure no rain/snow/insects would be able to get in. A picture would have been worth a 1,000 words, but I'm not able to attach 1 here. If you also need to fill in a gap width wise, you could take the same approach as I did height wise that I just described. Hope it works out for you.

Great video! I have a new ac wall unit I bought last year. What can I use in the sleeve to reduce loud vibration from the condenser? Thanks!

Great video How much bigger did you make your opening?

I would have just cut the drywall wide enough all around and do your framing then put drywall back and mud. Much easier.

Remember he was using an existing location and outlet. Always a problem in furniture location as well. Grills can be pointed upward to help but a ceiling fan is a good idea as well.
