As the summer months approach, the need for a reliable and efficient air conditioning system becomes more apparent. For those living in older homes or apartments with casement windows, finding a suitable air conditioning unit can be a challenge. However, a refurbished casement window air conditioner might just be the perfect solution. Not only do these units provide excellent cooling, but they also offer an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to buying a brand-new unit. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of choosing a refurbished casement window air conditioner, how to select the right unit for your needs, and tips for proper installation and maintenance.
There are several advantages to opting for a refurbished casement window air conditioner over a new one. Some of the key benefits include:
1. Cost Savings:Refurbished units are typically much more affordable than their brand-new counterparts. This is because they have been previously owned and used, but have been restored to like-new condition by a professional technician. By choosing a refurbished model, you can save a significant amount of money without sacrificing quality or performance.
2. Eco-Friendly:By purchasing a refurbished unit, you are giving new life to an existing air conditioner that might have otherwise ended up in a landfill. This helps to reduce waste and conserve resources, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
3. Availability:Casement window air conditioners can be difficult to find, especially during the peak summer months when demand is high. By considering refurbished options, you may have access to a wider selection of models and sizes that would not be available if you were only looking at new units.
When choosing a refurbished casement window air conditioner, there are several factors to consider to ensure you select the right unit for your needs. These include:
1. Size:The size of the air conditioner is crucial in determining its cooling capacity. To find the right size, measure the dimensions of your casement window and compare them to the specifications of the refurbished units you are considering. Additionally, consider the size of the room you wish to cool, as larger rooms may require a more powerful unit.
2. Energy Efficiency:Look for a unit with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) to ensure it operates efficiently and keeps your energy bills low. A higher EER rating indicates a more energy-efficient unit.
3. Features:Consider the features and settings offered by the refurbished unit, such as adjustable fan speeds, programmable timers, and remote control capabilities. These can enhance your overall comfort and convenience.
4. Warranty:Although refurbished units have been professionally restored, it's still essential to choose a model with a warranty to protect your investment. Look for a unit with at least a 90-day warranty, and consider purchasing an extended warranty for added peace of mind.
Once you have selected the perfect refurbished casement window air conditioner for your needs, proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your unit:
1. Installation:Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing your refurbished unit, and consider hiring a professional if you are unsure about the process. Proper installation is critical to ensure efficient operation and prevent potential damage to your window or the air conditioner itself.
2. Cleaning and Maintenance:Regularly clean the air filter to ensure optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. Most filters can be easily removed, washed, and reinstalled. Additionally, periodically inspect the unit for any signs of wear or damage, and address any issues promptly to prevent more significant problems down the line.
3. Seasonal Storage:If you live in an area with cold winters, consider removing and storing your refurbished casement window air conditioner during the off-season. This can help to prolong the life of the unit and prevent damage from harsh weather conditions.
By choosing a refurbished casement window air conditioner, you can enjoy a comfortable and cool living space while saving money and contributing to a more sustainable future. With the right selection, proper installation, and regular maintenance, your refurbished unit can provide years of reliable and efficient cooling.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
