Installing a window A.C. unit I have an old house with old windows. The bottom sash of the storm windows I installed are higher than the bottom of the open windows. Does it matter what I use to raise up the front of the AC unit? Last year I installed the AC unit tipped backward but I still had a lot of condensate coming inside.I was hoping to find an outlet to attach a hose to so that I could funnel the water away...no outlet.
No it shouldn't matter,just insulate the gap so you dont loose cool air,as for the draining problem tilt it some more,and make sure drain hole is open and not plugged that should fixya

Don't know why this is posed in Chainsaws, but here goes. Check if the windows are 'square', meaning that there are good even gaps all around the window when it is closed. If not, the window may need to get shimmed to make it 'square' again. This is especially a problem on casement windows for bay or bow windows as they hang over the edge of the house. When properly installed, the weight of the window frame is tied into the attic rafters (on a ranch house) by wire cable so the window will not sag over time. If there is a framing support under a bay/bow window, it may need to be adjusted to bring the window back to square.

The forward track channel has either rusted out, broken, or the sash clips to help keep the window level broke. We have seen all the above, but most likely is the sash clips that glue onto the lower window broke. The door panel will have to be removed, the old clips, heated with a HOT heat gun and removed, and new ones installed. Pretty easy fix with the right equip.
The problem with theses windows is the poor design. You will have no problem getting the door panel off but if you do not know what you are doing then dont do it yourself. Theses windows are retained by either a sash at the bottom or by a bolt with a metal rail at the bottom. If it is the one with the rail you wil need to check the front track bolt for tightness. If it is the one with the sashes, then you must remove the old ones and use a special adhesive to install the new ones. The door panel should be simple to remove. Just go slow.
90% of the problem with window shakers is the window that they are installed in is loss in the frame. When the unit is installed in the window you need to make sure that you install vibration eliminaters. This can be as simple as placing the foam strips between the unit and the bottom of the window you raised to install the unit through or as complex as removing the unit from its casing and reinstalling the casing, making sure all parts that touch the raised window as well as the side extensions have a cushion between them. If the clatter persists gently tap on the sash to see if you get any vibration, if so you need to insert slivers of wood between the sash and the moulding. This should solve you problem. The only thing you should hear is the compressor going on and off and the whosh of the fan.
what happens with these grand amsare that the windows have whats called a sash glued to the bottom side of the window, and bolts to the regulator. it has one for each track of the regulator. one of them has broke or the glue came loose. the window must be removed, and id the sash is broke you can buy a replacement from the dealership. and urethane it on. run a tape line on the glue edges as a guide then remove old glue glass prime and urethane back on. sashes are not expensive I've replaced many
