At this time, the air that is supplied through the common area hallways is not cooled. It is only heated. During non-heating days, the air in the common area hallways will be the same temperature as the outside air.

Which In-Wall Air Conditioner Unit Should I Buy?

The following AC units will fit into the existing sleeves inside the wall. You do not need to purchase sleeves, only the air conditioner units.

One model of air conditioner is for the living rooms and two are for the bedrooms.

The living room air conditioner runs at 208/230 VAC, and uses a 6-15P wall plug. A dedicated 240VAC breaker is installed in every unit for this air conditioner. Do not run a 115 VAC air conditioner in this location, or it will cause constant circuit breaker trips.

The bedroom air conditioner runs at 115 VAC and uses a 5-15P wall plug. One of the models has a slightly larger cooling capacity (12,000 BTU). If you wish to spend a little bit more money for a slightly more powerful air conditioner, it will cool the location faster and be able to keep it cooler than the slightly lower capacity (10,000 BTU) model, especially in elevator temperatures.

AC Units Table

The model numbers have a letter at the end such as A or B, (WTC10A10A or WCT10A10B, etc.) This letter at the end of the model number is equivalent to some minor change from by the manufacturer and is not of critical importance. A "higher" letter is just a the latest manufactured model. The most important parts of the model number are provided in the list above.

Please call ABT if you need help finding the correct model number, in case it has changed since this website was last updated.

This unit has an oversized front grill that fully covers up the sleeve.

Air Conditioner Issues

Is My Air Conditioner Cooling Properly?

Assuming you have a properly sized air conditioner and the air is flowing at a normal capacity (the air filter is not clogged), measure the temperature between the air entering and unit and the air exiting the unit. A properly working air conditioner will have a temperature difference of 18-22 °F between the two air streams.

Not Cooling Properly

The primary reason ACs don't cool well is that the front filter and/or heat exchangers are clogged.

To clean the front filter, remove the front cover and then remove the filter to clean it.

To clean the heat exchangers, the AC must be completely removed from the wall sleeve and taken to a location to clean with a special coil cleaning chemical and a hose. Please put in a work order to get this done.

Unable to Remove Front Cover to Reach Front Filter

The front cover is difficult to remove. We have developed in-house hooks that we can glue to the inside of the cover to that it is easily removed. Please put in a work order to get one.
