By filling out the form below, you are requesting permission to have an air conditioning unit installed in your residence at St. Norbert College. Understanding that air conditioners are only allowed when a medical need exists, you have met with Academic Support Services for the proper documentation. You understand that there is a charge of $175 per academic year. This charge covers installation, removal and electricity. You are responsible for the payment of this charge and for providing the air conditioning unit, within the guidelines provided by the facilities department.

Air Conditioner Request Form Do you have a medical accommodation approved through Academic Support Services?5:48 am ET August 11, 2014 In the dog days of summer, sometimes a fan just doesn’t cut it anymore. If you are considering a window air conditioner unit, don’t bother to pay a professional to install it. It’s easy to do by yourself—and you shouldn’t worry about dropping the unit out the window. A window air conditioner is removed from its metal housing before installation, and the housing is light and easily maneuvered into place. Knowing that, you can easily install even the largest window air conditioner yourself, following the guidelines below. All you need is a screwdriver—ideally, a cordless drill with a screw tip—and if you’re installing a used unit that doesn’t come with a window kit, a few pieces of scrap wood will help, too. Remove casing: Once you’ve chose a model to fit your window, remove the front panel according to your model’s directions, and then remove screws on bottom and sides holding the metal casing to the window air conditioner.

Pull the rear of the case, and shaking from side to side, slip it off the unit. Fasten casing to window: Most contemporary window air conditioner units come complete with metal channels that fit into standard window frames. If yours does not, a top and bottom channel should be included in your window installation kit. Simply place over the pre-drilled holes in the housing and screw together with sheet metal screws. If you don’t have a kit, screw scrap wood to the rear of the window sill to support the air conditioner. my ac unit keeps turning on and offDrive screws through the inside of the housing bottom into this support. used ac window units for saleMeasure two pieces of wood to the width of your unit; cheap floor air conditioning units

then cut and screw across the top and bottom. Now lower the window and screw the channel or your DIY wood into the window frame. Slide air conditioner into casing: Check to see that there is no movement, and then you can lift the air conditioner and slide it into the installed housing. Replace the front panel and attach expandable side panels to cover the open window area. If you don’t have these, make your own: measure the area to be covered, cut a piece of quarter-inch plywood to fit, and you can use silicone sealant to secure it in place. Install foam insulation around unit, and your window air conditioner installation is complete. Updated from an earlier version by Howard Stier.America throws out some six million window air conditioners every year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. If yours will be joining those ranks as the summer winds down—maybe it’s broken, maybe after all this heat you’ve resigned to moving to the Yukon before June rolls around again—you should know that tossing an AC is not as simple as hauling the unit to the curb.

In fact, it’s actually illegal to smuggle your AC to a landfill with the rest of your trash. That’s because ACs contain refrigerant, which can contribute to climate change. In older appliances, these are chlorofluorocarbons (you might know them by their nickname, CFCs). Newer units contain hydrochlorofluorocarbons or hydrofluorocarbon. Yes, all of those names sound the same—don’t worry about distinguishing between the three of them, because they’re all pretty bad for the environment. All three act as greenhouse gases if released into the atmosphere, and with the exception of the last one, will deplete the ozone layer. If your AC winds up in a landfill with the refrigerants still inside, they will leak out and go into the sky and wreak havok. We do a variety of things that are kind of bad for the environment all the time—including using electricity to run ACs in the first place—so what’s so bad about taking this particular life shortcut? Refrigerants are such powerful greenhouse gases that venting the refrigerant inside a single AC unit boosts the greenhouse effect as much as driving a car over 3,000 miles, according to EPA spokesperson Melissa Harrison.

Basically, carelessly throwing out an AC unit has roughly the same environmental impact as taking a road trip from Seattle to Miami. (It’s less fun, too—or at least involves fewer Spotify playlists). For these reasons, knowingly venting refrigerants can run you up to $37,500 a day in federal fines, Harrison said, which means that your garbage collector probably won’t even pick up your unit if you put it curbside.Doing the climate-friendly thing may not be much of a nuisance if you live in a city where window ACs are common: A few cities have municipal services that will come pick up your air conditioner. If you are in New York City, you can make an appointment with the Department of Sanitation using this online form. You’ll leave the unit curbside, and someone will come remove the CFCs on the designated day. They’ll then tag the appliance and it will be removed on the next trash day. (It’s a good idea to leave a note on the unit to indicate that it’s broken so that no one else picks it up.)

In Los Angeles, you can schedule a pickup of the unit online or via phone via the information on this page of LA’s City Sanitation department’s website. In Boston, you can use the city’s 311 hotline to schedule a pickup (don’t worry about clogging the line, it’s designed for nonemergencies like this). Everywhere else in the US This guide began with the goal of providing city-by-city advice for having someone haul away an AC. But in researching the specifics, we found that many cities’ sanitation departments simply overlook window air conditioner units. Chicago doesn’t have a curbside pickup program, according to Jennifer Martinez, City of Chicago director of public affairs. Martinez directed us to a site called Recycle By City, a general resource for disposing of household items properly, but the entry for Chicago doesn’t mention how to have window AC units picked up. This means folks in Chicago, and many other cities, will have to find a local scrap yard that accepts ACs and has the EPA-approved equipment to handle the refrigerant disposal.

The Earth911 recycling search is a good resource for finding this information (Martinez suggested Chicagoans check their ZIP codes on Earth911, and we confirmed there are several local options.) Just call ahead to your local center to confirm they can handle ACs before making the trip. The downside, of course, is that you have to do the drop-off at a facility yourself. Philadelphia Public Relations Specialist June Cantor suggested to “have a friend, relative or a neighbor help to transport the a/c to the nearest sanitation yard [aka sanitation convenience center].” She also had an alternate idea: “Many times we suggest that a delivery person bringing the new a/c take the old one.” We checked with Home Depot to see if they could take them upon delivery of a new unit, and they said no. One other avenue to consider: Try a private service like 1-800-Got-Junk? to arrange a pickup (and expect to pay a minimum charge of about $200). Not ideal when you’re already paying for local sanitation, we know, but if you have the means it could be easier than hauling it off yourself.
