Window air conditioner units are heavy and awkward. Dropping a window unit is dangerous and a disaster. Injuring yourself or someone else for the unexperienced DIYer is a very likely outcome. Tools, brackets and hardware are a must when installing a window air conditioner. It is stressful, dangerous and a unwanted stress to add to your already busy life. However, we have years of experience successfully installing window air conditioner units.
You will need a new window air conditioner for so many reasons. Your home or apartment is hot, stuffy and humid. You can’t sleep, cook, work or even just live comfortably in a hot home. If you have an old window unit that is noisy and barely cools it’s time for a new replacement.

Tell Me Which Window Air Conditioner to Buy Please!
Hey, Team Handy Dan, tell me which window air conditioner to buy, please! Yep, we hear this all the time from my clients. And of course we can help you pick which window air conditioner is the perfect one for your home or apartment. What we need to know is the size of the room or space you want to cool. We know that a general rule is that an A/C unit needs 20 btu for each square feet of living space.
Yep, sorry but it’s math time. Now lets calculate the square feet by measuring the length and width of the room. It goes without saying that we can help you with this step at any time. So lets say your hot stuffy bedroom is 10 feet long and 15 feet wide. Multiply the length times the width: 10 x 15 = 150 square feet! So let’s check the btu’s needed by multiplying 150 x 20 and that equals 3000. Now if this is the only room you want to cool, we can figure out which size window air conditioner you need to buy.
