What is a Through the Wall Air Conditioner?

Through the wall air conditioners run similarly to window units, by retrieving air, running it through coils, then sending the cooled air into the room. They are installed in a hole in an exterior wall, and require installation of a sleeve due to their weight.

These units have a BTU range between 7,000 to 15,000, with a coverage area between 200 to 800 square feet.

Pros of Through the Wall Air Conditioners

Efficient
Lasts a long time and is a longer term solution
Easy to replace when you have an existing sleeve and most units are industry standard sizes

Cons of Through the Wall Air Conditioners

Actually, Friedrich has room air conditioners up to 36,000 BTUs.

Another advantage of having room units is the ability to zone control. This further increases energy efficiency and the ability to have various Rooms at different temperatures. Check out our website ReeveAc.com for additional information.

The ductless mini split unit only requires a 3” diameter hole through the exterior wall.

When it comes to heating one’s home, increased efficiency is highly sought-after. For this reason, many are electing to install ductless heating systems, also known as mini-splits.

If you are building a new house or you are planning to remodel to eliminate ducts entirely, the ductless mini split is an excellent choice, not only because it permits zone heating and cooling, but also because it’s a generally energy-efficient system. These heat pumps operate through a series of air handlers that are mounted on the walls of rooms. Each air handler has its own controls, so only the ones that need to run will operate at once.
