Window AC Installation NYC, $150 Per Unit, Done Right

Every summer in NYC, hundreds of window AC units are installed wrong, sitting on the sill without proper support, tilted the wrong direction, or plugged into extension cords they’ll eventually overload. A 60-pound unit over a NYC sidewalk isn’t something to improvise. We install window AC units at $150 flat rate, with a support bracket and insulation included.

What’s Included at $150

  • Window assessment and unit sizing check
  • In-window installation with proper inward tilt for drainage
  • Support bracket installation (keeps the unit from tipping outward)
  • Foam/weatherstrip insulation to seal gaps and keep cold air in
  • Safety check before we leave

Why Professional Installation Matters

The NYC Department of Buildings issues warnings every summer about improperly installed AC units. A 60-pound unit without the correct support bracket is a genuine safety hazard for pedestrians below. We make sure every install is properly bracketed, tilted, and sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of air conditioners do you install?

We install window AC units of all sizes, from small 5,000 BTU units to large 25,000 BTU units. We work with all major brands including LG, Friedrich, Frigidaire, GE, and more — if it fits in a window, we can install it.

Do you handle both window and through-wall AC installations?

Yes — we do standard window installations as well as through-wall installs, which require cutting through an exterior wall and installing a sleeve. Through-wall jobs are common in older NYC buildings and we handle them routinely.

What’s included in the installation service?

We handle the full install: mounting the unit, sealing the gaps with foam insulation, securing the unit with brackets or supports for safety (required by NYC law for units above the first floor), and testing to make sure everything runs properly before we leave.

Do you remove and dispose of old AC units?

Yes — we can remove your old AC unit as part of the same appointment. We’ll haul it away so you don’t have to deal with disposal. Just let us know when booking and we’ll include it in the service.

How long does a window AC installation take?

A standard window AC installation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. If you’re replacing an old unit at the same time, add another 15 to 20 minutes. We work cleanly and efficiently and won’t leave your apartment a mess.

Do you install AC support brackets?

Yes — NYC building codes require exterior AC support brackets for units installed above the ground floor, and we always install them as part of the job. It’s a safety requirement and something we take seriously on every install.
