Install room a/c in a wood frame wall???
Hi, I posted a similar question today but I can't find it anywhere.
I can't install in a window because I need that window for emergency egress. If I put the unit in a wood framed wall, where would be the most efficient place to put it...higher towards my 7' ceiling to mix with the hot air? Or lower , perhaps below the window, giving the cold air some time to stay below, before rising?? Thanks, Mike , Picture Rocks, AZ! |

There's a couple concerns. First, window AC draw air from the sides, and
dump the heat out the back. So, it might not work if it's a very thick wall. Second, higher is better in terms of cooling. Cause the hot air is on top, and cold air will naturally fall. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org www.mormons.com wrote in message oups.com...
