if my window is bigger than the dimensions of the air conditioner, is it impossible to install the air conditioner?

Karen... Nothing is impossible. The A/C comes with 2 adjustable wings to accommodate different size windows. But there is a limit to everything. It is best if your window falls within the limit of the A/C. How big is your window?

I installed mine in a 1940s vintage house with double-hung window sashes with the ropes, pulleys, counterweights and all. The windows are very tall. I was able to fill the sides on each side with the expandable curtain-like fillers. About 8" on each side of the AC. Dropped the sash on top of the unit and finished (with safety clips and screws per instructions). If bigger area, you could fill the lower part of window with plywood and have a cut-out for the AC opening.

The air conditioner has accordion style adjustable stretchers on the side to reach the sides of your window.If your window is too big for the flaps, you can put together a simple space filler using cardboard or plastic. This doesn't look the best but it is a super practical way to maximize the efficiency of the AC unit.

This is first air conditioner that I have ever bought and if you want to take side panels off - I would suggest that you contact the manufacturer as the window I used air conditioner in fit fine but then I have enough space to do so!

This would not work unless you have a very odd dimension window. This is made to be wider than it is tall. For any standard size of window, the dimensions are wider than taller. If your window opens horizontally - you would have a taller opening than it is wide. Also, the way that this fan is held in place doesn't lend itself to being mounted vertically. The notches in the two sides rely on gravity to hold them in place - if you were to install this at a 90 degree angle - what would keep the fan from coming off of the screws?You will have more of a headache trying to use this in your application that it could be worth.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, in terms of an installation kit or even if you need one, but the air condition is VERY simple to install w/ what comes in the box. Of course, the situation may depend on the type of windows you have if you have to modify or add a little extra (maybe a bit of plywood or whatnot if you need to adjust the ac positioning). But overall, if you have typical windows, then you really shouldn't need anything else. @Robyn, As I mentioned above, it's not really that hard to install, but I would suggest (considering you situation, as you stated) to at least make sure you have someone else there to help you get it in just right--maybe a younger relative, friend, or such. I pretty able-bodied but due to how my window that I had my old ac was right where my bed was (and I sure as heck wasn't moving my bed! lol); my daddy helped my from the outside while I did the secure and screwing from on top my bed. So, yeah, while it's not will it's not difficult it's not something you should do by yourself, if you don't have to. The way you describe your windows sound like how mines open--as long as your window can open about a foot or 2 you should be fine. The ac is not ridiculously huge of anything so you (hopefully) shouldn't have to remove anything extra. But again, I can't exactly speak for your window specifically (b/c I can't see it).

The AC will fit into your window but you will have to add foam to each side to seal it into the window.

As of right now no. However, we are exploring different BTU size units that will fit smaller windows.

Hi Suzy! My air condition unit is about the same dimensions. This is the second winter season I've covered the a.c unit to protect the interior components from the elements. It's durable and effective.

I measured my unit, and the portion that would go through a window is 26.5 inches. I'd say the only way you could get this model through your window is to remove some framing. Depending on your window design, that could be far too much work. Personally, I cut a new hole through my wall and framed it specifically for this air conditioner.

The unit is 18 1/2. The included side pieces wont fit, so you would have to seal the sides another way. I recommend a different brand due to the Frigidaire super loud beep when adjusting settings, and lack of a fresh air lever (this lets you blow fresh air in, most units 8000 and below don't have this!). There are days when it's cool outside and too warm inside.... there's nothing I can do about it with one window!

There are several sizes depending on the year and model of the unit, best way to be sure is to take off the inside part of the ac and measure the hole

I doubt it. The nominal width of the unit, not counting the flanges, is 19". If both the unit and the window are precisely 19", there is zero clearance, so it would be difficult, if not impossible to install. My unit actually measures slightly more than 19". In my opinion, your window opening should be at least 19 1/4 to 19 1/2 inches wide to provide enough clearance for the unit to be installed easily.

I think it could be put in just about anything. It's pretty simple. you're just installing a window. Look at the directions. If you think you can do it, then, do it.

Hi Steve. I measured my AC from the outside of the window (from the frame of the window glass) to the edge of my AC, and it is 10.5 inches. The whole unit is about 15 inches in depth, from the front control panel to the outside edge, with about 4" sits inside the house. You should have no problem fitting it in. I have 2 of them to do about 500 sq. feet, and I have to shut them off some times because the work to well. (One of them is in a kitchen!!) I hope this helps. If you have more questions, have Amazon email me again. Thanks. Leo

Hmm, not sure. I guess it would depend if your window opening was big enough. if it was you may be able to mount it sideways. The fan must be mounted to the window frame with screws. maybe you can contact the company and ask them.

I don't think so. You should search for an air conditioner to fit those dimensions. Should be able to search directly in amazon. The side frame will definitely not be wide enough with this model.

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.

No. The window needs to open a bit for the flow of air to go through the AC
