Can this unit be set into a wall instead of a window? Was unsure due to the bottom which is not flat.

YES!. Just make sure you support the frame well, insulate around it and caulk the seams well. Just bought one 6 weeks ago and did this.

EZ to do yourself if you've got another body to help position it for installation. in a window it is straight forward, if you need to cut a hole in the wall that is another matter. Any handyman should be able to help with the install if you don't want to do it... nice unit.

I don't think this unit was made to be wall mounted. Someone creative may be able to.

Yes it can, however better suited to be wall hung. The unit works really well even the door switch outside at minus 40 degress.

You could set it on the floor in you like. It's a little small for the floor. It's really made to be wall mounted. It does have a flat bottom. I have one sitting on the floor until I get some time to wall mount it with another one.

It could work as a vertical installation, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd have to add material to enclose the exposed area not covered by the window panel included with the air conditioner. But what's worse is that you couldn't normally use that door since it probably would have to be permanently closed while attached to the enclosure material. But if you or someone you know is handy, you could build an enclosure running the vertical length on the inside of the door to allow the unit to vent while also allowing the door to open and close. But it wasn't intended for this type of installation.

I think it is far too big to go in a window. Even if You braced it I don't think it would be safe. It is really intended for a sleeve in the wall. Hope this was helpful.

Hi, the back of the unit is not finished so you will have to use it against a wall. Thank you so much!

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.

I would say no . You would need a corner piece to come up the wall to the window unit .you might've able to join 2 vent kits together to do it

We mounted ours on a piece of plywood and put it in the window (kind of like a room air conditioner). It's not as thick as a door. We believe there is an attachment you can buy to make it work for a door or wall.

Yes. We frame out the window with wood and it works great. I'd assume you could do it in a wall too

Although made for thru window application, this unit can be mounted thru the wall. Plus, it's an awesome unit, we are very happy with ours

You would have to build a shelf. There's no provision for wall hanging built-in.

Hi Stella, Mike here. The unit is made for traditional windows, which slide up and down. Technically, they have vertical slides, so putting it in such a window should be pretty straightforward. When mounted in such a window there are usually gaps to either side that the a/c comes equipped to cover, usually with slide-out panels. However, if you mean that the opening the window makes is vertical, in which case it actually slides horizontally, the installation could still work but might require some adaptations. If you want the window open as little as possible, I suppose you could put the unit in vertically; I'm not aware of anything inherent to the unit itself that would make it unsuitable for vertical mounting. My recollection aside, a careful read of the installation instructions is definitely called for. In a window that slides horizontally, and makes a vertical opening, you might have to provide some support for the unit on the outside because it wouldn't have the window coming down on the top to hold it in place. The friction from the window and frame might be sufficient, but I kinda doubt it. By "some support" I'm thinking of something like an exterior shelf attached to wall studs, or perhaps some large "L" shaped brackets by themselves. With a vertical opening you'll also need to plug the big hole above the unit. Heavy cardboard, fiberboard, or a really heavy duty plastic trash bag, plus some duct tape could do for that, as long as the unit is otherwise mounted securely. If you want to get fancier, and sturdier/more permanent to boot, a sheet of 1/4" exterior-rated plywood, trimmed with a self-adhesive foam gasket, and possibly held in place by some brackets screwed on to the panel, could work as well. I hope I've understood your question correctly. If not, I'd be glad to try again with some clarification from you about the configuration of the window.

If you could only read the instruction booklet provided with the unit, you would know you must leave at least a12 inch perimeter around the unit for proper operation. So, no, you may NOT put the unit up against a wall!
