2 Prepare the extensions. Most AC units have accordion or sliding extensions that slide to completely fill the opening. Some units have these already attached with other models, youll need to slide them into channels on the side of the air conditioner. Its best to prepare these before putting the AC unit in the window opening.

3 Prepare mounting brackets. Some AC units simply sit on the windowsill others rest on special brackets that attach to the sill. If you unit utilizes mounting brackets, install these brackets according to the manufacturers instructions. Be sure to level the unit according to the recommendations (typically with a slight downward slope toward the outdoors to allow for drainage of condensation).

Make sure the fasteners are secure. Some units come with two lengths of weatherstripping foamone goes along the sill beneath the unit, which you can put in place now. The other will go on top of the unit once it is installed.

4 With a helper if necessary, lift the AC unit. Use your legs, not your back muscles Slide it into the window opening from inside the room, positioning it properly on the sill or support brackets and, if using brackets, lock it into place on the brackets. Be careful with this stepdont let the unit fall out the window If your air conditioner has a drainage hose, route this to the outside.

5 Lower the window sash so that it fits snugly into the channel on top of the unit. The mounting flange at the top of the unit should be flat against the lower window sash. Slide the accordion extensions to fill the opening and fasten them to the jamb.
