do you have to do anything to the exterior or interior to waterproof it if the new unit is smaller than the old one/old sleeve?

Could you place a smaller Thru the wall (non slide out chassis) AC unit into an existing case instead of another smaller slide out chassis unit? Is there any long term issues with using an existing case with a smaller slide out chassis unit, like performance, extra condensation build up, the unit having a shorter overall life?

You could re-use the old sleeve as long as the new unit is smaller or the same exact size and it's also a wall thru ac unit not a standard window ac unit. also sense the new ac unit is smaller your are going to have to fill in the gaps and seal the gaps on the left or right and or top of the ac or all 3 sides. Why? because the unit is smaller and also you dont want to lose cooling and have bugs come in the apartment. You can use foam insulation, aluminum tape and or plexiglass. Plexi glass is more expensive however it lets sunlight in and looks good but thats a matter of preference.

I just installed one into my apartment wall unit. Is the frame supposed to be off since it sits into the sleeve ?

You can still re-use the old sleeve. As long as the unit fits and its a wall unit ac. It's not going to be an exact size. If you can get an exact size great but usually it's smaller which is why you can put it through the existing sleeve. Just make sure its a wall thru ac unit because wall unit ac is slightly different from a standard window ac. Usually its just the louvers. Which makes sense because if its a wall ac the air needs to vent from the back and a standard window ac has louvers on the side to take in fresh air and blow back in the rear. That's what makes it different

Are there any companies in Massachusetts or the Rhode Island area that can replace a thru-the-wall AC unit for a tennant of mine? I've called several companies, but every place says they either only service their own products or only handle central AC units. Thanks

Why take the factory cover off the new unit? It obviously would have fit in that sleeve, so it can't be a space thing.

@louietheboilerman Ай бұрын

You can not put a sleeve inside another sleeve and the reason why we take off the new sleeve off the new ac to install the new ac unit inside the old sleeve is very simply because you have to do more work, and some construction and what does that mean? More money 💰.. that’s the true answer. No one wants to spend money and it’s easier and you can still reuse the old sleeve as long as the new ac unit fits in.. it’s cheaper to do that then to open the hole bigger on the wall so you can install the new… MONEY is what everyone cries about. So that’s the reason why

This is killing me. I saw this AFTER I pulled the old cage. Now I am stuck fixing inside and outside walls. Sigh. This was a excellent idea.

how come the cover comes off?

@louietheboilerman Ай бұрын

You have to be carefull to take off the cover because its plastic and it can break if your not careful

I am wondering the same I think he means the frame or whatever it is u unscrew to expose the ac so u see the components, is that normal then u just slide it into a pre existing sleeve? I'm asking cause I'm in a apartment
