Through-the-wall air conditioners are similar to window AC’s but are installed through an exterior wall and use a wall sleeve for support. New models typically come with multiple modes and energy efficient features. Thru-wall AC’s are popular in rooms without windows or for people who prefer not to come near windows. Through-the-wall AC’s use British Thermal Units (BTU’s) to measure cooling capacity.
Important things to note before installing a thru-wall air conditioner include checking for plumbing and electrical structures inside the wall before cutting a hole. Voltage requirements for most new thru-wall ACs use standard 110-120 volt plugs. Furthermore, the power cord needs to be long enough to reach an outlet once installed.
A slide-out chassis is a built-in sleeve that comes with an air conditioning unit. However, some AC units vent in the back. Those use a through-the-wall sleeve. The vast majority of AC units come with information on which particular wall sleeve it fits.
