Hello,
I have room air conditioners and and they are within the wall, they are wall units. They are very nice ac and they are dual function, but undesirably, they give a very loud voice annoying. so we are looking to replace the ac I wanna know if it is possible to install on of those glass ac units n place of wall units. so if i buy an ac from a store which is supposed to be for porthole, cal i put in in my wall? also,how several btus ac would i need for a room that is around 18x17 contribute or take a couple. pls inform soon. thanks
Answers: NO. Those wall unit are designed to vent straight out the back. Window units vent out the sides and sometimes the bottom. This would severely demarcate your air flow. That would void your warranty and burn the component out. It could even cause a fire.
Replace it with what is near. You can buy the unit separate from the wall sleeve.
