99% Don't Know THIS About Window A/C's!! DON'T DRILL!!

Man, I was going to drill my Toshiba in the morning, and thought I'd find a video just to see where. Glad I saw this!

Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

As somebody with an anxious brain this is very reassuring 😂

Thanks for the tip man cuz I was going to drill a hole in the bottom of mine

If that's the case manufactures should make the bottom pan out of galvanized or stainless steel so the rusty water don't splash all over. They should also put a label stating not to drill holes on the bottom so not to shorten the life span of the cooling unit. Glad I found your video...was about to drill some holes and couldn't find any info on this issue. Thanks.

Thank you! I have been worried about this.

Mahalo bud very straightforward 🤙🏽

I have this model GE, and Mr Hertz is right, they are designed that way for efficiency. The only problem I have had is the blower wheel which is inside the Styrofoam duct molds up and spits black mung out the cool air vents. I take mine apart every other year and clean it. 👍

Excellent information. 1,000 thumbs up and Happy Holidays.

Totally didn’t know that! Very interesting!

Glad I watched this because I was about to drill mine since I heard the water in it.

Had to drill mine anyways. Have old windows that don't allow the A/C unit to have a downward angle to it. Takes a bit of rigging just to get it level actually. So that water was sitting in my window sill and rotting my wooden window sill. Since it overflows before going out of the weeper holes, I had to drill holes in the bottom. I wish A/C units would come with a slider so you could move the top part of the surround forward or backward to change the angle of the unit while still allowing the unit to fit in your window properly. These things arent made to work in old windows unfortunately.

Wow, awesome video, thanks for the lesson, I recently was talking to my bro about this topic while we were unsure if we needed to drill a hole too. Thanks for saving us the problem.

I always drill holes in mine and they work perfectly fine.

I Thank you for saving me from a Big mistake.

This video literally save people's money; both from electricity and the unit itself!

thanks! you just prevented me from drilling a hole in the unit!

I drilled bigger drain holes to existing for faster drain during cleaning still works great 5yrs strong . helps the dirt escape faster and water drain

Ive had instances with one newer window AC unit that had an intake vent in the sides as all do but also in the top. When it would rain the unit would fill with water and actually slow the fan down. Had to drill two drain holes.

So I had this issue, but the pan was filling up too much and the fan was spitting the water back out through the vents into the house. It was filling up so much so fast that it didn’t have a chance to drain. What could the problem be?
