ProfessionalWindow AC Unit Removal
Window AC units left in place through winter let cold air stream in around the edges and put unnecessary stress on the window. We remove the unit safely, store the accordion panels with it and leave the window closed and weatherstripped so your home stays warm all season.

How it works
Prepare for removal
We cover the floor below the window and gather any brace hardware before opening the sash.
Remove and lower
We retract side panels, lift out the unit and lower it safely — two-person lift for heavy units.
Secure the window
We close and lock the window, check for gaps and apply foam tape or weatherstripping where needed.
We can help
Problems we fix
- Units dropped during removal because of their awkward weight distribution
- Windows left with gaps where the accordion seal was never fully seated

Good to know
Window AC Unit Removal — FAQ
When is the best time to remove a window AC unit?
When nighttime temperatures are consistently below 60°F and you no longer need cooling. Leaving it in is a source of cold drafts and condensation risk all winter.
Can you store the unit for me?
We move the unit to your designated storage area — basement, closet or garage. Off-site storage isn't part of our service.
Should the AC unit be covered in storage?
Yes. A cover or plastic bag keeps dust and pests from settling into the coil and cabinet while it's stored.
