Air conditioning is an essential aspect of modern living, especially during hot summer months. One popular type of air conditioner is the swing out casement window air conditioner. This blog post will provide you with a comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about these unique air conditioning units. We'll cover what they are, how they work, the benefits of using them, and some helpful tips for installation and maintenance. So, let's dive right in!
A swing out casement window air conditioner is a type of air conditioning unit specifically designed for casement windows. Casement windows are hinged at the side and swing outwards, making it difficult to install traditional window air conditioners. These specialized units are designed to fit into the narrow space between the window and the frame, allowing you to cool your room without obstructing the window's operation.
Swing out casement window air conditioners operate similarly to traditional window air conditioners. They contain a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and a fan. The compressor pumps refrigerant through the unit, absorbing heat from the indoor air and releasing it outside. The evaporator cools the air, which is then blown back into the room by the fan.
The main difference between a swing out casement window air conditioner and a traditional window unit is the design. Swing out units are specifically designed to fit into the narrow space between the window and the frame. They typically have a vertical orientation, with the air intake and exhaust vents located on the sides of the unit.
There are several advantages to using a swing out casement window air conditioner over other types of air conditioning units:
1. Space-saving design: Swing out casement window air conditioners are designed to fit into the narrow space between the window and the frame, making them ideal for rooms with limited space or windows that don't accommodate traditional window units.
2. Energy efficiency: These units are typically more energy-efficient than other types of air conditioners, as they don't require ductwork and can be installed in individual rooms, allowing you to cool only the areas you need.
3. Easy installation: Installing a swing out casement window air conditioner is relatively simple compared to other types of air conditioning systems. Most units come with a mounting kit and instructions, making it a manageable DIY project for most homeowners.
4. Preserves window functionality: Unlike traditional window air conditioners, swing out casement window units do not obstruct the window's operation. You can still open and close your casement window as needed.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your swing out casement window air conditioner, follow these helpful tips:
1. Choose the right size: Before purchasing a unit, measure the dimensions of your casement window and the available space between the window and the frame. Ensure the air conditioner you choose will fit properly and provide enough cooling capacity for the size of your room.
2. Proper installation: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing your unit. Ensure it is securely mounted and level to prevent vibrations and potential damage. Consider hiring a professional if you're unsure about the installation process.
3. Regular maintenance: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, as recommended by the manufacturer. This will help maintain optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. Inspect the unit for any signs of wear or damage and address any issues promptly.
4. Seasonal storage: If you live in an area with cold winters, consider removing your swing out casement window air conditioner and storing it during the colder months. This will help prolong the life of the unit and prevent potential damage from freezing temperatures.
5. Energy-saving tips: To maximize energy efficiency, close curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day to block out the sun's heat. Set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature and avoid setting it too low, as this can strain the unit and increase energy consumption.
In summary, swing out casement window air conditioners are an excellent solution for cooling rooms with casement windows. They offer a space-saving design, energy efficiency, and easy installation, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. By following the tips provided in this blog post, you can enjoy a comfortable living space and keep your unit running smoothly for years to come.
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.
