Can i install a window a/c unit sideways? As in the unit sitting on one of its sides instead of the bottom?


Question:

Answers:
No, the water will not drain properly from it.


I wouldn't recommend it. Window air conditioning units have water that builds up in a 'tank', and that tank needs to be horizontal. If you turn it sideways, the water will never build up, and the air conditioner won't work properly.
You can if you bought a window unit designed to work either way. Most units are designed to be used one way only.
Nope. the oil in the compressor will drain out into the cooling coils, and the compressor will overheat. Plus the water prob.
