Vertical Window Air Conditioners

Vertical Design Gives New Look To Window AC Units


As homeowners, it is always our desire to have the outside appearance of our dwelling have style and be pleasant to the ones who pass by.  This is just what the manufacturers had in mind when they designed the new vertical window air conditioners.  The sleek, modern case shows well from the outside and fits well into most windows quite easily.  The Kenmore 11,500 BTU Slider/Casement model which is sold through Sears offers ease in operation with a remote control and Energy Saver when temperature setting is reached, the compressor shuts off.  There is also the feature of a 12-hour setting as ease of operation for the homeowner.

Many individuals are making the move into the older homes in closer to the urban areas in an effort to save on transportation costs as well as travel time.  In the older homes, it is seldom that one can be found that has been updated with the duct work necessary to accommodate a central system for cooling and heating.  This involves a great undertaking to upgrade this unit, especially for the larger homes.  Cooling can easily be obtained with the vertical window air conditioners so readily available.  It might be a definite advantage in the taller, slimmer models as the window height is generally more than in the more modern homes.

For many, the ease of installation and the use of standard home electric outlets are just a few of the features that proves attractive to those seeking vertical window air conditioning units.  These units are easily slid into the window opening with expandable sides that allow for an tight fit into the space.  The Amana 10,000 BTU "V" allows for cooling up to 400 square feet of living space.  The ease of installing these units works in the reverse as in many areas it is necessary to remove and store for the winter months.  Most of the units weight less than 90 lbs. and can be stored easily due to their compact size.  It is with the consumer in mind that the manufacturers have stepped up to the plate and created a product that fits the needs of the people.
