I have a narrow casement window in the bedroom and would like to avoid a through the wall unit. http://www.nextag.com/casement-windo...er/search-html If your casement windows are wood, I'd look again at wall-throughs, or at least removing the casement in question and replacing it with a temporary plexi panel above the a/c unit or something. My grandmother, and my mother after she took over that house, continually left the casements open in wet weather, since the overhang kept the rain out. However, the casement frame itself was in the weather, and it was pure hell on them. I had to do a buttload of work on those windows when it came time to sell the place. And these were good windows, Andersons (1961 vintage), that ordinarily are very durable. aem sends.... |

Only a couple of brands available as they are a small market. |

Besides being 'purdy' (assuming I understand this to mean 'pretty'), new
casement windows are generally slightly more energy efficient than other styles of windows such as double-hung. I assume this is since the locking mechanism pulls the window closed tighter and since there isn't the wear of the sliding parts they seal tighter over the long run. That said, they aren't easy to use with even the standard casement A/C unit. I had to pull out the entire crank and lock mechanism and drill two small holes to fasten the mounting hardware for the older style windows I use to have. Installing a thru-the-wall unit would still be more work, but it still wasn't as simple as the A/C units for double-hung. "krw" wrote in message t... In article , lid says...

TIA, Nathan Zimmerman We have this one: http://www.bizrate.com/airconditioners/pid301849614/ It works quite well and comes w/ a handy remote. Ok, so I have never used the remote .. but if you needed one, it has one ;) I'm thinking that ours was a little less than $300. |

Installing a thru-the-wall unit would still be more work, but it still wasn't as simple as the A/C units for double-hung. What I did some years ago for a couple of people was to replace the window. I put the Ac in the bottom of the window opening, then installed a shorter window above it. You lose some window space, you have the AC in position year round, but you have a window that can be opened on nice days. Just check to see that the new window still meets code for minimum size. |

Plus an AC keeps you from opening the window, and cuts the sunlight that comes in by 1/3 or 1/6th. |

When I moved in the previous owner had a junky-looking casement AC in the bedroom (which I had her discard). The inside window sill was rotted. I have a portable AC now which requires sticking a vent out the window. Because I have no place to store it, it is not the optimal situation. Fortunately for most days around here, open windows and a fan is sufficient. If the casement AC doesn't work out, a portable might be an option. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |
