The wall installation is more permanent and does not affect the use of a window in the room, but more complicated construction work is required. The window installation is less complicated and does not require a hole be cut in the wall, but the use of the window where it is installed is limited. For your safety, this air conditioner is grounded through the power cord plug when plugged into a matching wall outlet. The power cord on 5,000 to 8,000 Btu units is 72-in. long. The power cord on 10,000 to 14,000 Btu units is 62-in. long.
