As the weather warms up, our residents will begin inquiring about through-the-window air conditioners. These are permitted after May 1st through October 31st. Guidelines have been printed in the May issue of the Resident Newsletter to assist with policy communication.
One very important guideline is that site staff are not authorized to install these units. Residents must have an independent contractor install their air conditioner according to the published guidelines, and at their own expense. They should also consult with management prior to installation.
Guidelines for installation and use:
- Residents should use clear Plexiglass panels and clear caulking.
- A/C window units must not exceed 120 volts.
- A/C units must use existing house wiring.
- A/C units must be properly installed and in good working order.
Please see “Air Conditioner Policy” (form C395) in Tenant Tech in case you would like to further communicate with your residents.
