Can this be used to replace a "Thru Wall" style unit or is the a window?

mine is in a window. i do not see why it couldn't go in a wall, depending on the depth of the unit of course.

You have to secure the cord to the wall. A bracket is included for this purpose. (It does NOT work like a window blind)

I suppose it could be installed in place of an existing window if that is what you mean

I would check with a professional carpenter if you have or will be putting in a wall unit. It's a different project from what I took on as a DIY.

Window bracket can turn lengthwise and work. Wouldn't recommend unit. Not nearly the 12k that is advertised. Barely keeps a room 10 x 12 cool when above 90 degrees outside.

Not really. Look for models that are specifically designed for such windows. Frigidaire make a few. Frak series

I installed mine through the wall just fine. I was in the process of remodeling and built the opening just to fit with studs and headers on sides, top and bottom. The unit is wider than most studspaces, so one stud had to be cut and reinforced top and bottom. It seems to work fine.

Yes sir, it can!!! We actually own two of these. We use one of ours "through the wall" in our front room, and our second one we use "through the window" in our bedroom. They are both fantastic, and extremely reliable!!! I hope this helps.

Absolutely. I bought this to replace my through-wall unit (that was similar in size). I just slid my old one out and slid this one into the existing cage. Then, I sealed between the interior wall and sides of this unit with silicone caulk or expanding foam (available in an aerosol can about the size of a can of hairspray). If you don't have an existing cage from your previous unit, you can easily build a support deck under your wall opening. NOTE: Please remember that this unit (and your old one) are too heavy for you to safely remove and install by yourself. Get someone to help you.

No, I think that you wouldn't be able to use this unit, with the glass door for a window. There is a hose and a fixture that is suppose to go in an actual window.

As far as I know, yes. This unit ha a minimum and maximum size opening for any window, so I don't see why wall installation would be any different. You may want to double check the manual for the unit online to make sure. The unit is loud but very efficient and powerful.

Yes, you will have to change the wall plate to accommodate the opening. If this unit is installed outside like in a garage unheated, this unit will not work well in extreme cold.

go to your local hardware store & look at the window trim section - i think the one I almost bought (decided it looked better just sticky tacked to the wall) was like 70 cents per foot (about 12 bucks)

Not without some serious modification. They have models designed for that type of window..

No you can not, my old one did have a window that I did like very much. It still works but it is getting close to 30 years old (that's right, "30") but it looks worn.

No, It doesn't have to be vented thru the wall. But, if it a small space it a good idea to crack a window.

This comes with a sleeve. It can be mounted in a window OR through-wall. Not many units are like that. The sleeve is therefore kind of unique to this unit and almost certainly must be used. You may have to modify your wall opening, if that is what you are replacing. If it is going into a regular window, you should be able to easily remove the old unit and replace it with this one, but you will have to figure out how to seal it up (per the instructions).
