Handyman | Scott Balentine on replacing a nonworking air conditioner
May 12, 10:09 PMI have an old, nonworking air conditioner that was placed inside the wall in a family room that was added onto my home prior to my purchase. All the windows in the room are the roll-out casement type that do not open up and down. Should I just replace the unit in the wall? How can this be done so that when that unit is no longer functioning, it can be replaced easily?
