Minimum distance off floor for thru-wall AC
What is the minimum distance off the floor (and off the ground) that a
through-the-wall air conditioner can be installed? This 8,000 btu a/c is going under a window, and I have only about two feet of wall space between the floor and the bottom of the window. Is this enough? Thanks. T-L |

If this is a first floor, you also have to think about what's on the
OTHER side of the wall - a sleeve AC mounted near grade my have the airflow to the condenser coil obstructed by vegetation, or may admit water if snow drifting against it melts due to warn air infiltrating out withing the sleeve and then ice dams, forcing melted water to flow back between the AC and the sleeve and into the the wall cavity or interior of the structure.

I just remember to trim it. water if snow drifting against it melts due to warn air infiltrating out withing the sleeve and then ice dams, forcing melted water to flow back between the AC and the sleeve and into the the wall cavity or interior of the structure.
