How To Seal An Ac Window Unit

The wasted energy from the spaces surrounding window Air conditioning units is truly staggering. In a study titled There Are Holes In Our Walls, commissioned by the Urban Green Council, information technology was estimated that, in NYC lonely, heat loss from room air conditioners results in costs of more $150M per twelvemonth in backlog fuel!

All the same, if you are one of those unlucky enough to sleep almost a window AC unit, the trouble is much more than personal. The estrus and humidity that seep through in the summer months, and the cold drafts that blow in during the wintertime, are enough to frizz fifty-fifty the straightest hair and penetrate the warmest coating. The available solutions, until now, have been cosmetically unappealing, hygienically gross, and totally inadequate to solve the problem.

Everyone I have always lived with has had a different "genius" solution. These included paper-thin boxes, towels, and pieces of black cream that never seemed to stay in identify for long. Every solution had 3 things in common. It was ugly, dirty, and didn't work. And the common cold air would seep through all along the edges.

In that location are also various products available to encompass the entire AC unit in the winter months, mostly consisting of material with an rubberband band. The trouble with these are threefold: they do a poor job of covering the AC unit itself, they completely ignore the side panels which account for most of the rut loss, and they are prohibitively ugly. As noted by the Urban Greenish Council in their report, "Unfortunately, these products merely comprehend either the evaporator or condenser portion of the air conditioner unit and exit the accordion wings, where the majority of the air leakage occurs, completely open up."

BreezeStop aimed to solve all three issues: provide skillful insulation, pleasing aesthetics, and a cleanable surface.

Our solution consists of 2 layers of form-fitting insulation.

BreezeStop addresses all the places around a window AC unit where air leaks occur - the side panels, the expanse above the Ac unit of measurement, andthe areas above the side panels (often where the virtually air is lost). The top panel of the BreezeStop insulation kit is designed to form-fit above the AC installation bar and attach direct to the window pane, roofing the "holes in the wall".

The inward facing insulation layer is made from white vinyl which is designed to match indoor flat walls and provides a more than "built in" look for the AC unit. The vinyl covers the corrugated, impossible-to-clean, side panels and is like shooting fish in a barrel to make clean or even wallpaper. The panels fit nigh windows (check for size) and can exist cut for any size window AC unit.
