Proper installation is the foundation of a well-functioning window air conditioner. At Nairobi Repair Center, we ensure your unit is installed correctly to maximize efficiency and longevity. Here’s how we approach the process:

2. Window Preparation: We secure the window frame, install mounting brackets, and seal gaps to prevent air leaks and ensure stability.
3. Unit Installation: The air conditioner is carefully placed, leveled, and connected to a power source, adhering to safety standards.

A poorly installed window air conditioner can lead to issues like inefficient cooling, water leakage, or even damage to the unit. Trust Nairobi Repair Center to get it right the first time.
