What refrigerant is used in home window A/C units? Where can the refrigerant be purchased? What gauge is required?

Check the decal inside the unit for correct refrigerant type. Many use R22 which is no longer available.

R22, but to be sure check the data tag on unit. You would use the compound gage on manifold gage set. Refrigerant can be purchased online but vert expensive. Most will require a refrigerant license

I have used these in window units. You just have to tuck it somewhere the condensate will dissolve it. There is usually a little room under the coils in the lower left corner - careful not to squish the styrofoam.

The gauges are certainly commercial quality but I bought them for use in a residential setting. I installed a mini split heat pump and used the gauges on the evacuation and they worked splendidly. Due to the high pressure of 410A, these gauges will cover ant refrigerant.

If u r going to install a thru the wall air conditioner, u definitely need a sleeve for the unit to be stable and secure. It is simply the proper way to do it. Hope this is helpful.

Any window air conditioner can be installed in a casement window as long as the window opens up wide enough for it to fit. Specific "casement" type AC units are overpriced and usually have poor efficiency, so I really don't recommend them. I have the previous model and built a frame out of cheap 2x4 lumber to hold the AC in the window (filled the top opening with acrylic). Some of my neighbors just screwed the frame directly to their window track and filled the top gap with acrylic.

Sorry to hear that they screwed up your order. Lets hope everything will be ok. They are good A/C's. I had purchased 2 12,000 units for rest of the house since they are 110/120 and not 240. The units were originally Air Temp made by Chrysler. I was trying to locate Air Temp but it kept coming up SPT. I guess they merged companies.

Frigidaire EA108T 18 In. Sleeve Kit for Through-the-Wall Air Conditioners by Frigidaire. This is the sleeve kit I purchased and installed for the FRA124HT1 12,000 AC unit. The instructions are terrible, but I worked through it and it works great. As a bonus, use the solid back cover that it is shipped with as a cover for the winter weather. I attached weather seal to the edges and used four screws to attach it to the back of the AC unit to seal out the winter weather. It worked great for me.

That's what it is for, but the units I got (from this listing) don't have them; just AC. That was fine for my needs, but be sure to order the right one for your needs. There are several very similar models.

NO!!! First, Automotive R-134a uses PAG (polyalkyleneglycol oil) whereas your residential/commercial R-134a uses POE (polyester oil). Don't mix the two. Second, it is highly illegal for anyone unlicensed to access the refrigerant in a residential/commercial HVACR system. Please consult a professional if your system needs help.

The amount of refrigerant that is needed has numerous variables, which I would be happy to discuss with you. However, if you have a nearly full 30lb jug than you have far more than would be needed in any scenario. Please call direct for your best price. Thanks, Jason Heat and Cool Direct (574) 333-3333 or (574) 333-6666

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.

Sorry, I really don't know. It is so simple, and the cost so low probably worth a try. It would cost more to have an A/C person come to install a more expensive one!

As long as the air conditioners and the refrigerator do not exceed 3600 watts you should be fine. I recommend calling Xantrex 800.446.6180, as they would be able to tell you what would best fit your needs.

Hi Ruby, That's the kind of window I had (I've moved.) It was a crank out vertical window. You can install the a/c unit, but you have to do some simple modifications. The window accessories included with the unit are not much help. What I did was cut a pice of quarter inch plywood the dimensions of the window, primed it, then painted it the color to match the outside and inside walls. Then I placed it in the window (room side) and calked the perimeter. Before placing it in the window frame, I cut a hole --I think it was 5 inches in diameter--the same size as the large vent hose that comes with the unit. I then bought a sheet metal collar at a hardware store and put it in the hole, fastening it to the plywood. You attach one end of the large hose to the unit and the other end to the sheet metal collar--might have to use some duct tape to secure it on the collar. It worked great. I could close the window when it rained so the exterior of the plywood didn't get wet. But you must remember to always crank open the window when the unit is running so it can vent the hot air. Hope this makes sense and helps.
