Lol oh yes. Oh yes indeed. Haha. My little old terrible shape trailor is like a solor oven. Using one this big is able to to turn on, cool the whole house and keep the whole house cool, then shut off till thermostat turns it back on, smaller ones just run nonstop and can eat up a power bill. It can be hard to wrap ur mind around, but in some cases overkill uses less power, little place isnt hard to heat, but it can take alot to cool. But this was just how things worked for me with hardly any insulation value. When the old one went out I had to wait weeks for warranty replacent and put a 110v unit in ever window and still cooked the whole time and my light bill was enormous from them all running nonstop.

Hey thanks for watching and the sub also, and well its been awhile, i guess as long as everything is secure and put together right, and it goes in right "probably" dont have to be taken outa the shell, but for me and installing these bigger heavier ACs and fighting the weight back forth getting it "just right," it's just a couple screws, u can put just the lighter shell into the window and secure it, make sure everything is gonna hold and installed right, also make sure water is gonna drip out and NOT run back in, and without the shell it is little lighter and "seems" way less awkward to slide it in the box after and not have it trying to fall out the window lol. That's just me, some people are able to slap it in and go. Especially if u have a couple people to help.

Hey Tony Mangum thanks for watching, as I said in the video, I live in a pretty small older trailer (1970s I believe) and the only way I'm able to cool it at all during Arkansas Summers is by using 220v ACs designed for a lot bigger square foot then my home is, which I think is only 700 to 900 square foot (very rough estimate lol) and hardly any windows. But my home has so little insulation value I literally have to "start" using my AC sometimes as early as late February, to early March just depending on how cold of spring we have, but a lot of times the compressor really don't "kick in" much, but I leave it running so it will stir the air, and even when its 100+ degrees Fahrenheit outside, my light bill don't go up more than 50$ to 100$ each month and I only have to run just the one 220v AC, and guys my home turns into a solar oven the moment the sun hits the roof and walls. it can be 70 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and once sun comes inside can reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit by 9:30am, but I can set the AC at 72 Degrees and my ENTIRE HOME is cool all summer long. When my last AC died on the middle of July 100+ Degrees weather, I had to wait roughly 3 weeks for warranty to replace the unit, so until the replacement arrived, I had to barrow several 110v units running NONSTOP and I COULD NOT get just the living room below 95 degrees after 12pm (Noon) and no idea what the bedroom temps were other than being in constant Hellfire. Honestly it was so miserable me and my gf stayed at her moms every few days just to get some sleep. I had 2 standup upright AC each 10,000 BTU running nonstop with exhaust tubes running to one window and blankets wrapped around each vent tube to try to keep heat from escaping from vent tube (STAND UP AC LIFE HACK - WRAP TOWELS OR BLANKETS AROUND EXHAUST VENT TUBE TO KEEP UNIT'S HEAT FROM ABSORBING BACK INTO HOME, TRUELY WORKS!!!!!) I also had three other 8,000BTU 110v window units running nonstop, so an AC in every single window of home in every room, and my light bill spiked at least 250$+ to 350$ and in just 3 weeks and still couldn't get below 95 Degrees (85 degrees at night). (Five 110v units roughly running 40,000 to 45,000 BTUs altogether) So guys I know these big 220v ACs cost a lot to buy and you would think they use more power but since they are able to TURN ON, then COOL your home COMPLETLY, then TURN OFF (I leave fan running nonstop, I mean the Compressor turning on and off, not POWERING OFF whole unit - sounds confusing right? lol) So anyways, with sales tax and extended warranty this unit cost roughly 700$ to 800$, BUT this month alone my light bill (power for June 2018) was only about 120$ and been 90+ DEGREES outside everyday since its now July here in Arkansas USA (during winter with wood heat my power bills run about 60$ to 85$ for those of you doing the math right now with no AC at all.) So a rough estimate, each month the unit runs only about 40$ to 50$ maybe 75$ during the very hottest part of the year, so considering my light bill went up 200$ to 300$ that month I had to run 5 small ACs and still be miserable, my 220v unit paid for itself in just a few months AND I actually was able to cool the whole house instead of just wasting all that electricity. Sorry this comment was so long everyone, but I wanted to give all the facts and info I could from my own experiences since most people would think that a bigger AC cost more to run, but in fact, in the long run its the other way around since its able to actually able to cool down your whole home at once, then shut down till needed to power back on. Whereas the smaller 110v units have to run constantly all day long struggling to not even keep up which uses a lot more power consumption which makes them a lot less efficient. I hope all this info helps everyone and everyone is able to stay cool this summer. Thanks for watching and please subscribe everyone.

Hey Rick L, I honestly have no idea lol, but I just grabbed a tape measure and the ac is still in my window. The ac itself is right under 26 inches, with the wing seal thingy its roughly 29 to 29 and half inches wide and roughly 18 inches tall. The first big ac I put in here I had to change out the factory window to one that would fit a bigger ac also. Was well worth the work. In this old trailer the smaller ac couldn't keep up and would run up my light bill. I hope that answers ur question and if I need to remeasure something just let me know.

Hey pupupipichorro relief, thanks for watching AND THIS IS MEANT FOR USA POWER AND ELETRIC And to answer your question, yes, it will work if done correctly, but you may have to buy a different 240V(220V) AC Outlet (plugin) depending how many amps your Dryer's Outlet and the Air Conditioners Outlet is rated for. They make several different 240V(220V) shaped PLUGIN OUTLET SOCKETS and CORDS for different amp amounts. Also, make sure THE BREAKER IS TURNED OFF EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO POWER DOWN WHOLE HOUSE BEFORE WORKING ON ANY WIRES. 240V(220V) is capable of KILLING YOU INSTANTLY if working on system unsafely, and has enough energy to BLOW OFF FINGERS, HANDS, ARMS, FEET, or anywhere the energy can escape SO NEVER TOUCH LIVE WIRES and I really recommend having a VOLT METER on hand any time working on any sorta wires. Also, make sure Breaker and Breaker Box can handle the amount of AMPs that the Air Conditioner will be using, normally though if the circuit was originally for a dryer, then it will probably have a 30amp to 60amp breaker which should be fine, but you should always check that the breaker is not to small or else it will trip anytime you try to use it. A simple-ish way to kind of explain this is, (and electricians..... lets try not to confuse anyone here unless I mistype something important and actually need to be corrected for SAFTY otherwise lets keep it simple-ish for everyone lol, I just don't feel like arguing about the difference between grounds from power company and Safety Neutral Earth Grounds when I'm just trying to explain a "simple-ish" version lol.) Anyways, "normally" the way Power Company's supply electricity to your "HOME", is they supply "3 WIRES" to your home, Two 120v(110v) VOLT AC Wires and also a Ground Wire from POWER COMPANY, then for your homes safety, NORMALLY, but not always in older homes, there is another Ground (Neutral Earth Ground) added at your home connected to a Grounding copper pole drove deep in your ground-dirt, this is usually located close to your Main Breaker Box outside. If you have ever seen inside your breaker box or Plugin Outlets and you noticed the there are a lot of bare copper wires all twisted or connected together these are your SAFTEY Earth Neutral Ground. The reason you have an "Earth Ground" or "Neutral Ground" is electricity always takes whichever path or route of least resistance, which means if you happen to short out something, the idea is the electricity will hopefully flow through your "Neutral" bare wires straight outside and into the Ground(dirt) instead of running through your whole house and back to the power company and possibly hurting your devices or people along the way so it makes things just a lot safer... IF YOU FIND YOURSELF UNSURE THE STOP IMMEDITILY AND CALL A PROFESSIONAL!!!!! YOU LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE ISNT WORTH IT GUYS The reason I just explained this is because, a "normal up to code" 240V(220V) VOLT outlet will "NORMALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS" have 4 wires: Two "HOT +POSITIVE+" Wires are *NORMALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS!* +BLACK+ 120V(110V) POSITIVE and also a lot of times +RED+ 120V(110V) POSITIVE as the second HOT WIRE Then, if your dryer PLUGIN OUTLET is wired using "TWO GROUNDS" --NEGITIVE--- *again, this is NORMALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS!* --WHITE-- GROUND --NEGITIVE -- From Power Company --BARE (no coating) COPPER WIRE- NEUTRAL SAFTEY EARTH GROUND (*NORMALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS!* the neutral will attach TO GREEN SCREW, OR TO THE HOUSING OF THE PLUGIN as a SAFTEY GROUND) Now to explain why 120V AC and (110V AC) are labeled like that: The Power Company supplies each "leg" going to MAIN Breaker Box, Which is your two +POSITIVE+ Wires coming in from power pole, but the further energy travels, the more Energy it loses. So for example, at the power pole if tested with a volt meter, you should roughly have 120VOLTS on each POSITIVE WIRE, But if you test at the light socket the very furthest away from the power pole, lets say a bedroom on other end of house, then you will have a lower amount of power, which is usually closer to 110VOLTS AC. that's why I have labeled everything mentioned above as 120V(110V) because of voltage loss due to the distance the energy had to travel, I've seen a couple houses even be as high as 120V at main outside with as low as (107V) after going through whole house, which is fine and would still be considered 120V(110V), anything much lower starts to cause problems. Now to explain how 240V(220V) works: now remember I said the power company supplies you with two 120V(110V) and a ground from power company, for an example I will list three wires and values: BLACK : + 120V(110V) RED : + 120V(110V) GRND : - NEG Now if I get out volt meter set to test AC CURRENT and test wires in different ways, I will get these values: BLACK and GROUND = BEWTEEN 120V AND 110V RED AND GROUND = BETWEEN 120V AND 110V BUT now if I test BLACK to RED then the two will add up and volt meter should appear to say between 240V and 220V, or even a little less, remember I mentioned the further energy goes the more it loses Now you said that that the sticker said that 208\230: Since the company is aware of voltage loss over distance, they have designed that Air Conditioner to be able to run as low as 208V, when tested across POS+ to POS+ BUT DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT!!!!!!! wire your unit straight 240V(220V) GOING IN, IN FACT actually the way the air conditioner works is it has two different circuits to keep power loss to a minimum. For instance, normally they are internally wired so that one of the 120V(110V) runs the blower and fan, while the other 120V(110V) runs the compressor, and they both use the same GROUND and\or NEUTRAL SAFETY even though its two different circuits. But that's rough start on how some dryers, cook stoves, air conditioners, and several other appliances work off of 220V(240V) with 3 of 4 wire setups. BUT NOT EVERY APPLIENCE IS WIRED THIS WAY SO DONT START REWIREING ANYONES HOUSE BECASUE OF SOMETHING I SAID ON KZitem!!!!!!!!! But thanks for watching and I hope this helps. sorry such a long comment guys, but there Is a lot that needs to be explained when dealing with 220v wiring. AND BE CAREFULL EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and calling a professional is better than blowing an arm off or burning down someone's house because I've barly covered the tip of the iceberg.

Hey "The Duh-ciples" thanks for watching, and to try and help out with your comment, and to also help out anyone else who was wondering, yes I did already have a 220V (240V AC) circuit available, but I did have to buy a 220V (240V AC) Plugin Outlet (like 10$ in total since I already had the wire at right length, and I also had at least a 30 AMP breaker already installed) that fit the Window Unit Cord, BUT most Trailers already have the same circuit that I used, UNLESS someone has removed it. When my trailer was first installed on the property many, many, many, years ago, there was an old outdoor 220V (240V AC) Central Air Unit Outside, (and mine, like most trailers, also had central propane heat hidden inside a closet running off the same air ducts underneath) and most Trailers have had an 220V (240V AC) A/C Unit installed at some point which is perfect as a power source for a window 220V (240V AC) A/C Unit. But unfortunately these outdoor units can cost a lot to repair and don't last forever so people quit using them and 99% of the time, the 30+ AMP Breaker and wire is still there not being used. For me, I replaced a window about a year before I installed the A/C Window Unit, which was only about 5 foot from the Outdoor A/C, so I made sure the window was gonna be big enough for a larger window unit if I ever needed to put one in. Then when I did install the 220V (240V AC) Window Unit A/C, everything was ready for it to be installed (This was years ago that I put in the "first" 220V (240V AC) Window A/C in). First I shut Breaker off, then I "unhooked" the Outdoor A/C Unit Power Wire, then ran the wire back under the Trailer, then up through the Floor/Wall Base, then bought a new 220V (240V AC) Plugin Outlet (like 10$ for box and socket roughly) and installed it in the wall a little away from the window so no water, or water damage could ever reach plugin in any way, then hooked wires up and mounted the plugin in the wall. Then after just an hour or two work total, I installed the Window Unit, and my home has been cool ever since (many years now), and to this day I have never had any problems concerning the "220V Socket Outlet I just happened to have." Oh and guys, if you do need to install a new breaker and\or wires, its usually better to try and add new "Larger" breakers to the "Main Breaker Box" which is normally outside. The reason for trying to add to your "Main" is because normally most trailers are set up as "100 AMP" Service, Whereas "NORMALLY - BUT NOT ALWAYS," your Main Breaker Box will normally have a 200 AMP to 250 AMP Service. So "normally its better to add larger appliances to the "250 AMP" Breaker box, instead of hooking up to 100 AMP breaker box with out ever worrying about "overloading" anything, but this is not always the case and is only a recommendation and not every situation is the same.
