Can this unit be installed in a casement or slider window?

Not really. Look for models that are specifically designed for such windows. Frigidaire make a few. Frak series

Any window air conditioner can be installed in a casement window as long as the window opens up wide enough for it to fit. Specific "casement" type AC units are overpriced and usually have poor efficiency, so I really don't recommend them. I have the previous model and built a frame out of cheap 2x4 lumber to hold the AC in the window (filled the top opening with acrylic). Some of my neighbors just screwed the frame directly to their window track and filled the top gap with acrylic.

We installed the unit I purchased in the window and from my understanding you could also install this unit in the wall, hope this helps.

The monitor has two parts. One on door and one on frame. The only way one alarm would work on two sliders is if it could be mounted with the two parts mounted on the overlap of door panels in the center of sliders. Sorry but not home to look at it with parts in hand.

No, what comes in the box is one panel in two pieces. The two pieces are easily assembled into one tall panel that fits between your sliding door and the wall. Which means your sliding door is not replaced, but rather open just enough for the panel to fit in place. You then "lock" the panel in place with thumb screws and secure your slider with either the included lock or a board of some sort (your choice).The picture shown is the top half of the panel (left) and the bottom half of the panel (right).

ou should be able to install youeself. My wife installed hers. There are plastic caps or covers on each side that you pop off with a screwdriver and the cover slides into the holders like a window shade. Took less than 10 minutes.

Well what comes with the unit is a stander window adjustable to a window. You would have to build your own kit to fit a sliding Door. Now what I did was cut a 6" hole in my wall and used a dryer vent on the out side and concreted the vent from the unit. it work all year great. make sure you use a one way dryer vent that close when unit is on stand-by to keep the bugs and wind out.

Yes, you install the sleeve in the window first and then just slide the heavy bits inside it. Very nice unit.

I have casement windows, and this unit fits fine. For the top of the unit that is exposed to the open outside, I placed a flexible, inexpensive insulation board, cut to size with an exacto blade. The unit fits a 14" inch casement window just fine.

On the model I have, the on/off switch is covered by the plastic slide window.

Denise, this unit may not be the best for you since there would be a need to find a device to block air from the top of the slider which comes with the unit to the top of your sliding door. Further, unless your living space is on the 2nd or 3rd floor and on a balcony it may not be safe to use the unit in that way. Hope this helps.

My unit is installed in a window but I did my best to look underneath it and don't see anything protruding at all. On the contrary, it's all a very smooth, metal encasement. I would ask Frigidaire's customer service about it.

Yes, the unit can be installed after counter tops are on. Just a tighter space to work in.

If you recess it into the end jam; then also recess the plate onto its leading edge; preferibly on center and in the mid section of the slider ; providing that the sliding door is custum made and wide enough for the modification ; then the answer is yes. Otherwise the answer is no.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

I am guessing that it could. When I mounted it in a window, a metal sleeve was mounted first; then the unit slid into it. I would imagine the sleeve could be inserted into a wall opening.

I used mine in a slider type window and .. no, it doesn't fit the groove. These ACs (as are most) are designed for casement type windows (the ones that slide up and down). I've only found one AC unit that was designed for slider windows, and it worked for 5 years before giving up. You just have to modify the fit is all. I designed a mount for these types that fit on the window and seal the groove, as well as support it against the siding outside. Seems to work for most that I've used. If you're not mechanically inclined, try one of the "Portable" types. They're not quite as efficient, but work very well and are not as unsightly as these from the outside.

If you mean sliding glass doors or windows that slide sideways, then, yes, the adapter included with our unit would fit. It's a long panel and infinitely adjustable.
