Maintenance: Air Conditioner Installation

If you call to have your air conditioner installed --- charge $24.00 (It will be billed to tenant)

Make sure brackets (l-shape bar (2 ea) to hold it up outside the window.

See if your air conditioner is a 120v, 220v or 230v plug. It should be on the box if it's brand new, or located on A/C (Note some A/C's are 110v or 115v)

If you have a 120v to be installed but has a 220v plug in the unit, the plug will have to be changed before the air conditioner is installed and it will be a $50.00 charge. (Billed to tenant)

Make sure you tell the work order clerk where the air conditioner will be installed (Living room or upstairs bedroom)

The air conditioner must be located under the window that it will be installed at. Maintenance or the contractor does not move air conditioners from closets, off tables, or carry upstairs for liability issues.
