As the summer season approaches, the need for a comfortable and cool indoor environment becomes a priority. Side casement window air conditioners have become increasingly popular for their efficiency, easy installation, and space-saving design. In this blog post, we will discuss everything you need to know about side casement window air conditioners, including their benefits, how to choose the right one for your space, and installation tips. So, let's dive in and explore the world of side casement window air conditioners!
1. Space-saving design:Side casement window air conditioners are designed to fit into narrow, vertical window openings. This makes them ideal for small rooms and apartments where space is at a premium.
2. Energy efficiency:These air conditioners are known for their energy efficiency, which can help lower your energy bills during the hot summer months.
3. Easy installation:Installing a side casement window air conditioner is relatively simple and can be done without professional assistance in most cases.
4. Versatility:They can be installed in various types of windows, including casement, awning, and sliding windows.
5. Quiet operation:Side casement window air conditioners tend to operate more quietly than traditional window units, making them a great option for bedrooms and living areas.
When selecting a side casement window air conditioner, there are several factors to consider, including:
1. Room size:Measure the square footage of the room you want to cool. This will help you determine the appropriate cooling capacity (measured in BTUs) for your air conditioner.
2. Window size:Measure the dimensions of your window opening to ensure the air conditioner will fit properly. Keep in mind that side casement window air conditioners are designed for narrow, vertical windows.
3. Energy efficiency:Look for air conditioners with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) to save on energy costs.
4. Noise level:Consider the noise level of the air conditioner, especially if it will be installed in a bedroom or living area. Look for units with a low decibel (dB) rating.
5. Additional features:Some side casement window air conditioners come with additional features such as programmable timers, remote controls, and air filters. Consider which features are most important to you when making your selection.
Installing a side casement window air conditioner is a relatively simple process. Follow these steps for a successful installation:
1. Read the manufacturer's instructions:Before beginning, read the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. This will ensure you have all the necessary tools and materials ready.
2. Prepare the window:Remove any screens or storm windows from the window opening. Clean the window sill and surrounding area to ensure a secure fit for the air conditioner.
3. Attach the mounting brackets:Attach the provided mounting brackets to the air conditioner according to the manufacturer's instructions. These brackets will help secure the unit in the window opening.
4. Install the air conditioner:Carefully lift the air conditioner and place it into the window opening, making sure the mounting brackets are properly aligned with the window frame. Slide the air conditioner into place and secure it with the provided hardware.
5. Seal the gaps:Use foam insulation or weatherstripping to seal any gaps between the air conditioner and the window frame. This will help prevent drafts and improve energy efficiency.
6. Secure the window:Depending on the type of window you have, you may need to secure the window in place with additional hardware or locking mechanisms.
7. Connect the power:Plug the air conditioner into a grounded electrical outlet and turn it on to ensure proper operation.
To keep your side casement window air conditioner running efficiently, follow these maintenance tips:
1. Clean the filter:Regularly clean or replace the air filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent dust and allergens from circulating in your home.
2. Inspect the coils:Check the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt and debris, which can reduce efficiency and cause the unit to work harder than necessary.
3. Check the drain:Make sure the condensate drain is clear and functioning properly to prevent water damage and mold growth.
4. Seal any gaps:Periodically inspect the window seal and weatherstripping to ensure there are no gaps or drafts.
5. Schedule professional maintenance:Have a professional HVAC technician inspect and service your air conditioner at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential issues.
Side casement window air conditioners are an excellent cooling solution for small rooms and apartments. With their space-saving design, energy efficiency, and easy installation, they provide a comfortable and cost-effective way to beat the heat during the summer months.

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.
