I'm a Renaissance woman. I love to create things with a fantasy, medieval, or geeky edge. I'm also a math/science nerd. I have a passion for all things Halloween. I like to build props, create costume elements, and decorate for every season or holiday.

The weight of the air conditioner (well, its compressor) is what helps with this. They are designed to be heavier toward the back to help them angle downward slightly when installed properly. This is important because it helps the units drain water that accumulates on the evaporator coil through normal use. Water drips from them outside, not inside, because of the angle created through the design/weight distribution.If you want, you can secure them to your window opening, either with angle brackets or by screwing through the a/c frame into the stud that frames the window.
