Split Unit AC - Through the wall sleeve

Ask a Board member

How are you going to insulate that sleeve? The coop might object because that is going to look very strange from the outside (not that the ac units are very good looking), and may invite water penetration.

It won't stick outside at all, it will be in the existing through the wall sleeve -- there is enough space in there for the circulation according to the AC guy. I'm looking for potential objections so i can be prepared with a rebuttal. It is completely enclosed in my unit, can't see any issues it would pose to anyone else.

I would seek verification from the equipment manufacturer that installing the condenser in a niche is an acceptable installation practice.

I think nyc_sport gave you two very good potential objections. It'll look different from the rest of the building, and how will your installer ensure wind-driven rain does not enter the apartment?
