Air conditioner - windows unit to be used in Wall sleeve??
I am in the market of buying 2 Wall AC units. One of them is a Fedders sleeve, and the other one is a OLD OLD welbilt sleeve. While browsing on the internet, i saw that some windows ac unit has the name of, "Windows / THru the wall compatible". I thought Wall units vent at the back, and windows vents from the side - hence there is a difference.
So, my questions are,
1. Since I am confuse, i want to find out -- if windows AC can be used in wall sleeve? And if my fedders sleeve is, 16.75h x 27w, and the windows AC unit is 14 x 24 - do they all come with a trim kit where i can cover up the hole?
2. Do they make 6000 btu wall unit for friedrich or fedders (Same size sleeve) -- my room is only 10x16, according to enegy start charts, i only need a 6000 btu unit, but i can only find 8000 btu wall ac online...
3. I have another working wall AC but I broke the filter whle washing it - i cannot see to find replacements anywhere - any ideas?
THanks,
Tak

There are many different brands of wall units available, however they are not all the same, and will not interchange with your existing cabinet. I can only suggest a direct replacement with the same brand and still. The BTU's can in some cases be raised while using the same cabinet. A window unit may not work even if it fits the opening, because the depth of the unit will be to shallow and not vent correctly. I would look for a direct replacement if I were you Much less hassle and more efficient.
