Is putting screws into the sill and window sash really necessary for installation?

No. I have side-sash windows, and mine are just mounted on a "scaffold", and set in. The screws are so no one can remove your unit and break into your house, I'm assuming.

Apparently not! I just checked the window and there are no holes. It balances well enough on it's own.

I didn't use no screws at all, the window frame+wood panel holds this thing tight.

No but you will want to secure the window somehow so that it cannot open. I cut a broomstick to fit exactly in the space between the raised window and the top of the window sill.

Yes. This would be appropriate. I have placed it inside of a lower cabinet and no screws or installation was needed. Just place it and it is great!

I did not screw all the pieces in. I only screwed the one bracket into the top of the window that prevents the window from opening (someone from stealing the unit from the outside). The unit has groves on the top and bottom the fit into the window frame. I then closed the window nice and snug and secured that one screw/bracket into place. It fit in my window pretty nicely. In the end I think I did not screw in 4 other screws because my widow frame was aluminum as well, and did not want to puncture the window structure.Hope this helps.

My answer verifies the others - both. Using the screws is best although a little more time consuming.

Yes...all hardware is included to include half door windows. If you purchase this item be sure to do so when its at least 70deg out or you wont be able to stretch the material properly. Ive had mine for awhile now with no issues other than whats posted in my review. Hope this helps.

There are two screws included with the cabinet. We use our own screws with molly wall anchors, however, since we were installing the cabinet on drywall. If you are installing on wood, you probably just need the screws. They are installed through the back of the cabinet onto the wall. The screws can be seen when the cabinet is open only. Hope that helps.

Yes. There are 2 glass doors that install desperately from the unit and you can easily leave them off. Put the aside and save them in case you decide to use them some other time.

Yes, it does need to be screwed in. I think you could probably pre-drill holes that you use to do the installation, if you wouldn't mind the permanent holes

No hardware is needed. There are two hooks on the ends of each rail that hook over bars or pins that are inside the slots on the bed frame. The hooks simply fit over the pins or bars.

They are not bolted into the wall but installed with an adjustable tension rod system. They recommend bolting it into the window framework also for added security, but it is really not necessary unless you are putting some pretty heavy pots on the shelves. They include bolts also which can be screwed in thru the holes in the black side adjusters. I have had mine up for months with just using the tension mount and it fits pretty snug.

Hard to say. Too many variations on how rear windows are installed. Some have deep groove between glass and sheet metal for metal trim.

I just put a couple of screws in the window frame. It works well. No intruders.

No. The pre-installed hardware is designed for overhead installation of the unit. The instructions also are written only for overhead installation.

Yes. It is not necessary to purchase additional hardware. The outer shell of the AC can be slid off and mounted through the wall.

No tools needed. Open window and place fan in front of the window (sill?). Lower window...done.

Hello,It is recommended for security reasons to install the A/C unit with the brackets however it is not needed. You can have it installed by screwing the unit into the window as well.

I would.use plywood, or several pieces of wood that fit the depth of your window sash. Remember to also seal the wood, and provide insulation on at least the outside. It would also be prudent to install several security mesures to prevent entry, or theft of the AC unit. Some.simple window locks, and bar woild be a good start. This unit uses a lot of power, so look at how much power you have on the circuit alreaty.
