While air conditioner-related tasks are posted year-round in some cities, for the most part we see demand for air conditioner installation peak around May/June. This is a great task type to specialise in because it’s certain that there will be demand for it every year!
To help you make the most of this demand, NYC Tasker Bandele P. has shared the following tips to help you tackle installations of air conditioners in windows.
- Clean both sides of the window.
- Screw in the top rail, and insert side filler panels.
- The bottom edge of the window should line up with the outside rail; the window should be lowered behind the top rail.
- Attach side panels to the frame; attach frame locks; attach sash locks.
- Cut foam window seal.
- Make sure the air conditioner unit leans back a bit to help with drainage; if it doesn’t, the bottom rail may need to be adjusted.
- Save the box the air conditioner came in for storage during the off-season.
- Always refer to the A/C user manual for additional instructions.
